The presence of a depression over the Andaman Sea is likely to aid the onset of the monsoon season

The depression that is expected to form over the Andaman Sea this month will aid monsoon advancement and help the June to September rain-bearing system, which is the lifeblood of India’s economy, arrive in Kerala around June 1, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which appears as a band of clouds encircling the globe near the equator and is responsible for the wet and dry seasons in the tropics, is very active, according to Ananda Kumar Das, who is in charge of IMD’s cyclone monitoring. This, he added, indicates that a monsoon surge will occur soon. “The depression will aid in the formation of cross-equatorial flow.” The formation of the depression will also help in the long run.

The monsoon brings about 70% of India’s annual rainfall, arriving in Kerala around June 1 and covering the rest of India by mid-July. The importance of a normal monsoon cannot be overstated. Half of all Indians rely on farm income. Irrigation is unavailable to nearly 40% of India’s net-sown area. Summer crops, which are dependent on the monsoon, account for half of India’s farm output.

For good farm output, rains must be plentiful and evenly distributed across states, as global food prices have reached new highs due to a shortage caused by the Ukraine conflict. Farm yields, output, and income are all affected by a poor monsoon. It increases India’s reliance on imported food. A good monsoon will help to keep food inflation in check by increasing domestic output.

In March 2022, food inflation reached 7.7%, the highest level since November 2020. Vegetable prices increased by 10.6 percent, while oil and fat prices increased by 20.7 percent. Wheat prices have risen dramatically as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

When it comes to sowing key crops like rice, sugar, cotton, coarse cereals, and others in the summer, millions of farmers rely on the monsoon.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
