Environmentalists alarms over climate change in Northeast

Agartala, Oct 25 (UNI) A week ahead of COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow scheduled on October 31 - November 12, environmentalists have raised an alarm over a visible change of rainfall pattern and other climate indicators in Northeast, which is conclusively attributed as the result of global warming.
The latest study of Delhi based Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) revealed that October this year has already appeared as one of the hottest ever months recorded so far in Northeast. The most commonly glacier-fed rivers have turned into rain-fed rivers and monsoon rainfall was the main source of water flow in the rivers of Northeast.
The report indicated that the rainfall patterns, especially during monsoon, have been changing, resulting mostly in the region getting dried up. Referring to Indian Meteorological Department’s (IMD) data, the report stated that in 20 of the last 22 years monsoon rainfall has been below normal and more than a century-long data-set showed a declining trend in many states of Northeast.
