March 15, 2025 – Recent rainfall has offset a prolonged rain deficit in the region, according to the Divisional Commissioner, though authorities remain on alert for potential challenges ahead. In a statement issued today, the Divisional Commissioner said, “Our rain deficit is compensated, but still we are monitoring the situation.”
The announcement follows weeks of below-average precipitation that had raised concerns over water availability for agriculture and domestic use. Meteorologists reported that the latest weather system delivered substantial rainfall, bringing levels back to normal for this time of year. However, officials emphasized the need for continued vigilance due to uncertainties in long-term forecasts and the potential for localized impacts such as flooding or uneven water distribution.
The Divisional Commissioner’s office has not specified additional measures at this stage but assured residents that updates will be provided as the situation evolves. Local farmers and water management authorities have welcomed the news, though some expressed cautious optimism, citing the importance of sustained rainfall to ensure a full recovery.
