Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz said that Pakistan has been witnessing heavy rains for the last three years.
He said that there is no risk of drought this year as this situation only arises in areas that haven’t received rain in two to three years.
“Even if there are 10-20% fewer monsoon rains this year, there is no risk of drought,” said the chief meteorologist.
