The entire area of Cherrapunji is going to be adopted by Assam Rifles for the purpose of plantation.
Cherrapunji, also known as Sohra is a subdivisional town in the East Khasi Hills district in the Indian state of Meghalaya. It is the traditional capital of ka hima Sohra (Khasi tribal kingdom).
Sohra has often been credited as being the wettest place on Earth, but for now nearby Mawsynram currently holds that distinction. It still holds the all-time record for the most rainfall in a calendar month and in a year.
Sohra receives rains from the Bay of Bengal arm of the Indian summer monsoon.
