Overview
- Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma chaired the Meghalaya Climate Council on Tuesday, June 23 and directed departments to move from planning to urgent, time‑bound action to reduce El Niño risks.
- The government put water security first by ordering immediate desilting of ponds and reservoirs and directing deployment of water tankers to vulnerable blocks.
- The Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department has begun advance lifting and stocking of food grains and activated price monitoring to prevent hoarding and spikes.
- Agricultural vulnerability mapping has been completed and officials were told to distribute short‑duration seeds, expand crop insurance and ready solar‑powered irrigation support.
- Authorities will push real‑time weather advisories through social networks and community channels while monitoring IMD updates because outcomes will depend on how the monsoon actually evolves.
