Meteorological department officials here said monsoon clouds would hit the state after June 10.

“Monsoon is set to enter the state before the end of second week of June,” an official said.

Patna meteorological department director Animesh Chandra told IANS over telephone that unlike last year, monsoon will not be delayed in the state.

“The monsoon will be normal this year,” he added.

Last year, the monsoon failed in the state, forcing the government to declare 26 of 38 districts drought hit.
