The Assam government has declared declared 14 of Assam's 27 districts drought-hit, saying agriculture was badly hit due to scanty monsoon rains. There has been a deficit of nearly 30 per cent rainfall from the beginning of June to July 12 — the 14 districts received 414.8 mm of rain in the period compared to an average rainfall of 588.8 mm.

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.
