Monsoon's Warning Wrath

The season of monsoon brings life-giving water to parched fields, giving new lease of life to dying crops as well as newly planted ones. In the fields lacking irrigation facilities, it is nothing short of a godsend for farmers. When it fails to arrive, agriculture output, and to a great extent GDP, nosedives, threatening food security and putting millions of lives in jeopardy. But it is also associated with devastation. Barely a week after the full-fledged monsoon made its way into Nepal, the country is reeling from the disasters brought by it.
