&lt;em&gt;* Over 40% of India is in the grip of abnormally dry conditions. Will the elections bring any relief?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The situation in Maharashtra is approaching the 2016-like crisis, when consecutive years of drought forced the state government to supply drinking water to Latur by train&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Between November of last year when Sharad Markad opened a cattle relief camp in drought-hit Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra and now, the price of a 5,000-litre water tanker has gone up from Rs.700 to Rs.1,000. In these six months, the number of cattle in the camp swelled from 200 to over 500. For 19-year-old Markad and his fellow villagers, it is now a daily challenge to feed the cattle and keep the camp running. The water and fodder cost a staggering Rs.25,000 per day. The annual south-west monsoon is at least two months away. And, the local administration is busy with the general elections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Every day, two water tankers come to our village to supply drinking water but that is barely enough. My family buys at least one tanker a week for drinking and other household needs,&amp;quot; says Markad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ahmednagar is among the 26 districts in the state which have been hit by a drought that is ravaging parts of India. After the June to September south-west monsoon recorded a deficit of 9.4% compared to 50-year average, eight states, including Maharashtra, declared a drought. Since the end of the monsoon, the situation has only worsened. According to the drought early warning system at the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar, as on 6 April, 41% of India&amp;rsquo;s landmass is experiencing &amp;ldquo;abnormally dry&amp;quot; conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The affected regions span across at least 13 states&amp;mdash;parts of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Bihar, Arunachal Pradesh, and West Bengal. For the drought-hit in these regions, the elections could not have come at a worse time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We are getting water supply once in 15 days; farmers have resorted to distress sale of cattle; crops like cotton and soybean have failed... yet local officials are unwilling to take note of our grievances using the election (model) code of conduct as an excuse,&amp;quot; said Manik Kadam, a farmer from Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Parbhani and member of Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana, the largest farmer organization in the state.&lt;br /&gt;

In these six months, the number of cattle in the camp swelled from 200 to over 500. For 19-year-old Markad and his fellow villagers, it is now a daily challenge to feed the cattle and keep the camp running. The water and fodder cost a staggering Rs.25,000 per day. The annual south-west monsoon is at least two months away. And, the local administration is busy with the general elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Every day, two water tankers come to our village to supply drinking water but that is barely enough.

After the June to September south-west monsoon recorded a deficit of 9.4% compared to 50-year average, eight states, including Maharashtra, declared a drought. Since the end of the monsoon, the situation has only worsened. According to the drought early warning system at the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar, as on 6 April, 41% of India&amp;rsquo;s landmass is experiencing &amp;ldquo;abnormally dry&amp;quot; conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The affected regions span across at least 13 states&amp;mdash;parts of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Bihar, Arunachal Pradesh, and West Bengal.

For 19-year-old Markad and his fellow villagers, it is now a daily challenge to feed the cattle and keep the camp running. The water and fodder cost a staggering Rs.25,000 per day.

<em>* Over 40% of India is in the grip of abnormally dry conditions. Will the elections bring any relief?<br />
<br />
* The situation in Maharashtra is approaching the 2016-like crisis, when consecutive years of drought forced the state government to supply drinking water to Latur by train<br />
<br />
NEW DELHI: </em>Between November of last year when Sharad Markad opened a cattle relief camp in drought-hit Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra and now, the price of a 5,000-litre water tanker has gone up from Rs.700 to Rs.1,000. In these six months, the number of cattle in the camp swelled from 200 to over 500. For 19-year-old Markad and his fellow villagers, it is now a daily challenge to feed the cattle and keep the camp running. The water and fodder cost a staggering Rs.25,000 per day. The annual south-west monsoon is at least two months away. And, the local administration is busy with the general elections.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Every day, two water tankers come to our village to supply drinking water but that is barely enough. My family buys at least one tanker a week for drinking and other household needs,&quot; says Markad.<br />
<br />
Ahmednagar is among the 26 districts in the state which have been hit by a drought that is ravaging parts of India. After the June to September south-west monsoon recorded a deficit of 9.4% compared to 50-year average, eight states, including Maharashtra, declared a drought. Since the end of the monsoon, the situation has only worsened. According to the drought early warning system at the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar, as on 6 April, 41% of India&rsquo;s landmass is experiencing &ldquo;abnormally dry&quot; conditions.<br />
<br />
The affected regions span across at least 13 states&mdash;parts of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Bihar, Arunachal Pradesh, and West Bengal. For the drought-hit in these regions, the elections could not have come at a worse time.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;We are getting water supply once in 15 days; farmers have resorted to distress sale of cattle; crops like cotton and soybean have failed... yet local officials are unwilling to take note of our grievances using the election (model) code of conduct as an excuse,&quot; said Manik Kadam, a farmer from Maharashtra&rsquo;s Parbhani and member of Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana, the largest farmer organization in the state.<br />
