"If we take a look at the rainfall, the state needs more rain. The dams in western Maharashtra are yet to be filled. The rains will continue to be good. However, there will be a patchy rain in the interim period. After that, there are signs of good rain again. The state has received 30 percent more than the average rainfall till July 15.
