As they sow
A group of women at work in a paddy field at Dokmoka, some 82 km from Diphu, district headquarter of Karbi Anglong district, Assam on July 10, 2009. The overall monsoon rainfall this year in the Northeast has been deficient by 48 per cent. The shortage has severely affected sowing. Till July 9, paddy was sown in 38.14 lakh hectare against 51.80 lakh ha in the corresponding period last year – a shortage of 13.66 lakh ha.

The Northeast Vigil website ran from 1999 to 2009. It is not operated or maintained anymore. It has been put up here solely for archival sentiments.

Parts of the old website, especially the extremely popular dams issue, have been resurrected. Other archived material will be uploaded here as and when I am able to salvage those. If at all.
