Heavy rains across the country have put major cities like Mumbai, <keyword id="6354321" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Bengaluru">Bengaluru</keyword>, Hyderabad and Delhi-NCR on a standstill. And flood prone areas like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, <keyword id="6354915" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Assam">Assam</keyword> all continue to suffer from floods. Twenty six people have lost their lives and nearly 36 lakh have been affected across more than 3,300 villages in 28 districts in the state. 
 
ASSAM 
The floods in Assam have affected 19 lakh residents of the state and displaced about 5,00,000 people, who have taken shelter at relief camps. The death toll in the state has reached 25. Floods have also caused massive damage to infrastructure, including roads and bridges. Rising waters have also sparked concerns over the wellbeing of endangered one-horned rhinoceroses in the Kaziranga National Park. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh visited Assam on Saturday, and made an aerial survey of flood-hit areas, post which the minister announced a compensation, "The state government has announced a compensation of Rs 4 lakh for victims of the flood," he said. 
 
BIHAR 
Bihar too faced a dire situation in some regions. Continuing heavy rain in the upper reaches has led to flooding in Supaul, Purnia and Kishanganj. So far, there have been 26 flood-related deaths in the state. Rising water levels in the Mahananda River are leading to a spread in the flooding in Katihar, Purnia and Kishanganj. 
 
UTTAR PRADESH 
Uttar Pradesh government has set up 41 relief camps to provide aid and shelter to people who have been affected by flooding. Rain in the upper reaches of rivers that run through the Terai region means water continues to be released from barrages. The floods have meant farmers face the possibility of a total loss of the kharif crop on thousands of acres of land. 
 
GURGAON 
Though vehicular movement remained slow in Gurgaon , it was an improvement from the 15-km-long jams of Friday. Repair works were carried out to roads in some parts after water cleared in the morning, but rain returned by late morning. 
 
TAMIL NADU 
Alerts have been issued in parts of northwestern Tamil Nadu after dams and barrages in the region received heavy inflows. The inflows continue to rise due to heavy rain in southern Karnataka, that has brought Bengaluru to a halt. KARNATAKA A number of low-lying areas continue to be flooded, with Kodichikkanahalli and Bilekahalli among the worst-hit. A number of lakes in the city have breached their banks, compounding the problem in surrounding areas. 
 
MUMBAI 
Mumbai continued to receive incessant downpour and more rain has been predicted for the city through the weekend. However, traffic seemed to be running smoothly overall even as local trains run late.

Incessant rains cripples whole of India

<keyword id="10591" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Samsung">Samsung</keyword>’s new president HyunChil Hong regime is witnessing a massive makeover at Samsung. However, some unhappy aspects have led to the resignation of <keyword id="107877" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Samsung-India">Samsung India</keyword>’s top four executives. As per a news report by The Economic Times, the heads of four divisions and functions at Samsung India have quit over the past month. 
 
Having replaced the company's long-serving CEO BD Park, Hong had aimed at accelerating growth. Assuming the office four months back, he has merged marketing functions such as those related to product advertising and below-the-line marketing activities with the sales team to ensure better coordination. 
 <keyword id="2495652" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Tarun-Malik">Tarun Malik</keyword>, director and head of digital content, cloud and media solution centre, which builds applications and develops content for Samsung's smartphones and smart televisions, has resigned. <keyword id="1087064" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sachin-Thapar">Sachin Thapar</keyword>, director for the tablets business, quit three weeks ago and joined an American smartphone startup InFocus Mobiles as its India head.

A Samsung India spokesperson said the company had built a solid foundation in the Indian market because of an exemplary talent pool. 
 
As per the news report, some have left because their roles were substantially reduced, while others were unhappy with the organisational changes. 
 
A senior industry executive, who didn't want to be named told the ET, Hong had taken charge of Indian operations at a critical time with Samsung's smartphone business under pressure globally and revenue growth in India in 2014-15 having slowed by more than half over the previous fiscal. Samsung India sales grew 45% to Rs 40,392 crore in 2013-14. Most of Hong's initiatives are centred on the company's smartphone business, which accounts for almost 70% of revenues. 
 
"Hong is re-organising the Indian operations and tough calls are being taken. He is a thorough sales professional. There is a lot of emphasis on cutting costs and driving profit," the executive told the financial daily.

It’s raining resignations in Samsung India

New Delhi, Union Home Minister <keyword id="6355521" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="amit-shah" source="Orion">Amit Shah</keyword> on Sunday took stock of the situation in the wake of incessant rains as he spoke to the chief ministers of Punjab and <keyword id="6358126" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="himachal-pradesh" source="Orion">Himachal Pradesh</keyword>, and the lieutenant governors of Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir, sources said. The home minister assured them all central help in tackling the arising situation. The sources said Shah spoke to the chief ministers of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh and took updates about losses due to the rains. In view of the <keyword id="6385438" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="heavy-rains" source="Orion">heavy rains</keyword> in the national capital, the home minister also spoke to Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena and took updates. The home minister also spoke to LG of the Jammu and Kashmir and took information about the Amarnath pilgrimage which was suspended due to heavy rains, sources said. Shah appreciated the National Disaster Response Force and the State Disaster Response Force for helping the Amarnath pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir. "The NDRF and the SDRF have always stood tall in service to the nation and humanity despite all odds. Their role has been crucial in fulfilling our goal of providing a safer <keyword id="44352" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="amarnath-yatra" source="Orion">Amarnath Yatra</keyword> to every pilgrim. Sharing a photograph of an SDRF Jawan carrying a lady yatri on his back for 3 km through the unforgiving terrain of the Himalayas on her way back from the holy shrine. I applaud them for being the beacon of safety for the citizens," he tweeted. Torrential rains pounded several parts of north India on Sunday with 15 people killed in landslides and other rain-related incidents, while most rivers, including the Yamuna in Delhi, were in spate. In cities and towns across the region, many roads and residential areas were submerged in knee-deep water with the civic system unable to hold on in the face of record rains. Flash floods washed away roads in hilly areas, leaving people marooned, while authorities asked tourists to plan their visit after the weather improves. Heavy downpour warnings have been issued for certain areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh, while in Delhi, which recorded its highest rainfall in a single day in July since 1982, authorities have cautioned over rising water level of the Yamuna. In three sperate incidents of landslides in Himachal Pradesh, where a red alert of extremely heavy rains has been issued for seven districts, five people were killed. The Amarnath pilgrimage resumed on Sunday from Panjtarni and Sheshnag base camps after remaining suspended for three days due to inclement weather in Kashmir, officials said. As soon as the skies cleared around the cave shrine, authorities opened the gates and allowed the stranded devotees to offer prayers at the naturally formed ice-lingam in south Kashmir Himalayas, they said.

After rain caused the first T20I between <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword> and <keyword id="22501" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="new-zealand" source="Orion">New Zealand</keyword> at Sky Stadium to be washed out, it may again play a spoilsport when the two teams will be playing in the second match at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. Though New Zealand skipper <keyword id="269650" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="kane-williamson" source="Orion">Kane Williamson</keyword> was hopeful of sunshine coming in Sunday's sell-out match at his hometown, that may not be the case. With rain predicted for all day and precipitation levels between 40-97 per cent, there is a possibility of rain again halting India and New Zealand's quest for rebuilding their T20I sides. One would be hoping that <keyword id="3142448" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rishabh-pant" source="Orion">Rishabh Pant</keyword> gets a decent run as an opener against New Zealand. Pant, who burst on the scene with blistering performances in IPL 2016 just after catching everyone's eye with his exploits in U19 World Cup earlier that year in Bangladesh, was largely in and out of initial playing eleven from Asia Cup till the Men's T20 World Cup as India preferred finishing touches of Dinesh Karthik. But now with Karthik not in the squad for this series, one could see Pant opening the batting as India search for batters who can given them a flying start in power-play. But with <keyword id="2064892" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ishan-kishan" source="Orion">Ishan Kishan</keyword> and <keyword id="6362888" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="shubman-gill" source="Orion">Shubman Gill</keyword>, uncapped in the T20I format, as the obvious looking opening options, it should be interesting to see the role clarity which India will give to left-handed Pant, who hasn't cracked the T20I code yet, as compared to Tests and ODIs. Hardik Pandya will be itching to show his leadership skills as the clamour grows for him to be made India's T20I captain till 2024 T20 World Cup, in a bid to change the side's fortunes in the format. His New Zealand counterpart, <keyword id="58375" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="williamson" source="Orion">Williamson</keyword>, will be keen to improve his strike-rate and usefulness in the shortest format of the game. Traditionally, Bay Oval has been a high-scoring ground for T20Is. All of this can happen in front of a sold-out crowd provided the rain stays away for cricket to happen.

Rain clouds threaten to ruin India's Diwali festivities with rains and thundershowers, according to the latest forecast from India's Meteorological Department. A well-marked Low pressure area has intensified into a Depression and it is located over east central Arabian Sea.

India, it's raining jobs. In March, hiring by India Inc was up 18%

In contrast to its earlier prediction, private weather forecaster Skymet stated it might revise its forecast as rains across country stood 32% below average. 
 
Vice-president, meteorology at Skymet, GP Sharma said that by July-end, they might come with a revised forecast for the season and the months of August and September. 
 The forecaster had earlier forecast above normal monsoon rains this year while most other forecasters, including the official <keyword id="6355166" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="India-Meteorological-Department">India Meteorological Department</keyword> (IMD), predicted less than normal rains. 
 
However, he said that Skymet would not bring its forecast down, adding that he didn't expect July rains to be 104% of normal as forecasted earlier. 
 
"It will surely be in the minus side. But considering there is a margin error of ± 9 per cent in the monthly forecast, we are not wrong in our forecast," Sharma told Economic Times. 
 
The financial daily reported that as of July 15, the monthly monsoon rains across the country were 32% below average while the deficit for the whole season stood at 6%. 
 
Skymet says that monsoon rains will be 102% of its Long Period Average (LPA) this year, whereas IMD predicted only 88% of the average. 
 
"Northwestern India is the only region which has a cumulative rain surplus till now. We expect some improvement in the second half of July, but the deficit will prevail,” DS Pai, head of long-range forecasting at IMD, told ET. 
 
IMD is expected to release its next forecast on July 31. It has forecast July rainfall over the country to be 92% of its LPA. 
 
"Rainfall deficit for the country in July is 44 mm. We should get 12-13 mm rain daily to catch up with the normal," Skymet's Sharma told ET. 
 
He added that monsoons could spring a surprise anytime. "Heavy widespread monsoon showers for a few days can wipe out the deficit as happened in the previous year. Monsoon rains were 40% below normal across India till July 15 in 2014 and with spell of heavy rains the deficit came down to 22% by the month end," Sharma told the financial daily. 
 
Meanwhile, Skymet expects August rains to be 99% of the average with good rainfall in the first ten days of the month.
