Surinder Sud / Mumbai September 5, 2008, 3:13 IST The delay in the withdrawal of the monsoon is expected to benefit crops in the current kharif as well as in the ensuing rabi season.

Rehabilitation of agriculture in the vast tracts ravaged by the Kosi river in Bihar is anticipated to take a long time as farm operations cannot begin for at least a month after the flood waters clear out.
