Stating that weather forecast data analysis is a complex exercise, he asked the IMD to step up people-oriented services, particularly for the agriculture sector and disaster areas like flash floods, cyclones and rain downpours, by using apps and other such latest hi-tech options.

He also visited the satellite and radar sections and discussed the process of procurement of data on a real-time basis. IMD Director General Mrutyunja Mohapatra informed the minister that this year the monsoon rainfall was 10 per cent above normal in June, but 26 per cent deficient till date in July. The IMD has predicted “normal” rains for this year. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
