&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;BHOPAL: &lt;/em&gt;Madhya Pradesh is staring at a drought-like condition for the second consecutive year if revenue department reports from districts are any indication. Revenue data reaching here from various districts hints that dry conditions may bring water scarcity in many parts of the state from April to June this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the state is on the verge of another drought, far-flung areas of more than 40 districts have reported water shortage with hand pumps and underground water sources drying up much before the onset of summer. Chambal and Bundelkhand regions are the worst affected due to scanty rainfall during the previous years. &amp;quot;Water crisis is not serious at the moment but after April it may affect the entire state,&amp;quot; admits state PHE minister Kusum Mehdele. She said reports from various districts indicated depleting groundwater resources, following which the department has chalked out a detailed plan for water supply. &amp;quot;As the water table is receding fast and sources almost dried up, we plan to supply water through tankers in remote areas,&amp;quot; she told TOI, adding the finance department has sanctioned budget to deal with the crisis. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drought in the state has so far affected 48 lakh farmers in 228 tehsils while an area of 44 lakh hectare has also been hit by the severe arid conditions. Apart from Rs 2,400-crore compensation to be extended to the farmers for crop damage, the state has also sought an additional Rs 300 crore from the Centre for drinking water supply in various districts. &amp;quot;Water shortage may turn worse in the coming months as wells are drying up and underground water sources are limited. We have identified worst-hit areas and are making arrangements on war footing,&amp;quot; state agriculture minister Gaurishankar Bisen told TOI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During previous year, monsoon played havoc in various parts of state with eastern Madhya Pradesh being the worst-hit. This area recorded only 29 per cent of the normal rainfall, while overall the state recorded a deficit of 12 per cent, according to the Indian meteorological department. Katni received only 43 cm rainfall, 56 per cent less than the average of 97 cm. The situation was equally grim in Bhopal, Sehore, Panna, Rewa, Raisen, Shajapur, Tikamgarh, Anuppur, Satna and Narsinghpur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many districts of the state have been regularly reporting shortage of water not only during summers but also in winters. Some panchayats in Jhabua, Ratlam and Satna districts did not vote in bypolls this year due to water shortage and contamination, which impacted lives of several people there. As mercury is soaring across the state, water crisis will plague Indore, Bhopal and other towns. Indore and other places of Malwa plateau were the worst-hit in the past as water table is receding fast. &lt;br /&gt;

Revenue data reaching here from various districts hints that dry conditions may bring water scarcity in many parts of the state from April to June this year.<br /><br />As the state is on the verge of another drought, far-flung areas of more than 40 districts have reported water shortage with hand pumps and underground water sources drying up much before the onset of summer. Chambal and Bundelkhand regions are the worst affected due to scanty rainfall during the previous years. &quot;Water crisis is not serious at the moment but after April it may affect the entire state,&quot; admits state PHE minister Kusum Mehdele. She said reports from various districts indicated depleting groundwater resources, following which the department has chalked out a detailed plan for water supply. &quot;As the water table is receding fast and sources almost dried up, we plan to supply water through tankers in remote areas,&quot; she told TOI, adding the finance department has sanctioned budget to deal with the crisis. <br /><br />Drought in the state has so far affected 48 lakh farmers in 228 tehsils while an area of 44 lakh hectare has also been hit by the severe arid conditions. Apart from Rs 2,400-crore compensation to be extended to the farmers for crop damage, the state has also sought an additional Rs 300 crore from the Centre for drinking water supply in various districts. &quot;Water shortage may turn worse in the coming months as wells are drying up and underground water sources are limited. We have identified worst-hit areas and are making arrangements on war footing,&quot; state agriculture minister Gaurishankar Bisen told TOI.<br /><br />During previous year, monsoon played havoc in various parts of state with eastern Madhya Pradesh being the worst-hit. This area recorded only 29 per cent of the normal rainfall, while overall the state recorded a deficit of 12 per cent, according to the Indian meteorological department. Katni received only 43 cm rainfall, 56 per cent less than the average of 97 cm. The situation was equally grim in Bhopal, Sehore, Panna, Rewa, Raisen, Shajapur, Tikamgarh, Anuppur, Satna and Narsinghpur.<br /><br />Many districts of the state have been regularly reporting shortage of water not only during summers but also in winters. Some panchayats in Jhabua, Ratlam and Satna districts did not vote in bypolls this year due to water shortage and contamination, which impacted lives of several people there. As mercury is soaring across the state, water crisis will plague Indore, Bhopal and other towns. Indore and other places of Malwa plateau were the worst-hit in the past as water table is receding fast. <br /></div>               </font>

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;BHOPAL: &lt;/em&gt;Madhya Pradesh is staring at a drought-like condition for the second consecutive year if revenue department reports from districts are any indication. Revenue data reaching here from various districts hints that dry conditions may bring water scarcity in many parts of the state from April to June this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the state is on the verge of another drought, far-flung areas of more than 40 districts have reported water shortage with hand pumps and underground water sources drying up much before the onset of summer. Chambal and Bundelkhand regions are the worst affected due to scanty rainfall during the previous years. &amp;quot;Water crisis is not serious at the moment but after April it may affect the entire state,&amp;quot; admits state PHE minister Kusum Mehdele. She said reports from various districts indicated depleting groundwater resources, following which the department has chalked out a detailed plan for water supply. &amp;quot;As the water table is receding fast and sources almost dried up, we plan to supply water through tankers in remote areas,&amp;quot; she told TOI, adding the finance department has sanctioned budget to deal with the crisis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drought in the state has so far affected 48 lakh farmers in 228 tehsils while an area of 44 lakh hectare has also been hit by the severe arid conditions. Apart from Rs 2,400-crore compensation to be extended to the farmers for crop damage, the state has also sought an additional Rs 300 crore from the Centre for drinking water supply in various districts. &amp;quot;Water shortage may turn worse in the coming months as wells are drying up and underground water sources are limited. We have identified worst-hit areas and are making arrangements on war footing,&amp;quot; state agriculture minister Gaurishankar Bisen told TOI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During previous year, monsoon played havoc in various parts of state with eastern Madhya Pradesh being the worst-hit. This area recorded only 29 per cent of the normal rainfall, while overall the state recorded a deficit of 12 per cent, according to the Indian meteorological department. Katni received only 43 cm rainfall, 56 per cent less than the average of 97 cm. The situation was equally grim in Bhopal, Sehore, Panna, Rewa, Raisen, Shajapur, Tikamgarh, Anuppur, Satna and Narsinghpur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many districts of the state have been regularly reporting shortage of water not only during summers but also in winters. Some panchayats in Jhabua, Ratlam and Satna districts did not vote in bypolls this year due to water shortage and contamination, which impacted lives of several people there. As mercury is soaring across the state, water crisis will plague Indore, Bhopal and other towns. Indore and other places of Malwa plateau were the worst-hit in the past as water table is receding fast. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;BHOPAL: &lt;/em&gt;Madhya Pradesh is staring at a drought-like condition for the second consecutive year if revenue department reports from districts are any indication. Revenue data reaching here from various districts hints that dry conditions may bring water scarcity in many parts of the state from April to June this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the state is on the verge of another drought, far-flung areas of more than 40 districts have reported water shortage with hand pumps and underground water sources drying up much before the onset of summer. Chambal and Bundelkhand regions are the worst affected due to scanty rainfall during the previous years. &amp;quot;Water crisis is not serious at the moment but after April it may affect the entire state,&amp;quot; admits state PHE minister Kusum Mehdele. She said reports from various districts indicated depleting groundwater resources, following which the department has chalked out a detailed plan for water supply. &amp;quot;As the water table is receding fast and sources almost dried up, we plan to supply water through tankers in remote areas,&amp;quot; she told TOI, adding the finance department has sanctioned budget to deal with the crisis. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drought in the state has so far affected 48 lakh farmers in 228 tehsils while an area of 44 lakh hectare has also been hit by the severe arid conditions. Apart from Rs 2,400-crore compensation to be extended to the farmers for crop damage, the state has also sought an additional Rs 300 crore from the Centre for drinking water supply in various districts. &amp;quot;Water shortage may turn worse in the coming months as wells are drying up and underground water sources are limited. We have identified worst-hit areas and are making arrangements on war footing,&amp;quot; state agriculture minister Gaurishankar Bisen told TOI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This area recorded only 29 per cent of the normal rainfall, while overall the state recorded a deficit of 12 per cent, according to the Indian meteorological department.

MP stares at drought, water crisis -Rajendra Sharma

-The Times of India BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh is staring at a drought-like condition for the second consecutive year if revenue department reports from districts are any indication. Revenue data reaching here from various districts hints that dry conditions may bring water scarcity in many parts of the state from April to June this year. As the state is on the verge of another drought, far-flung areas of more than 40 districts have reported water shortage with hand pumps and underground water sources drying up much before the onset of summer. Chambal and Bundelkhand regions are the worst affected due to scanty rainfall during the previous years. "Water crisis is not serious at the moment but after April it may affect the entire state," admits state PHE minister Kusum Mehdele. She said reports from various districts indicated depleting groundwater resources, following which the department has chalked out a detailed plan for water supply. "As the water table is receding fast and sources almost dried up, we plan to supply water through tankers in remote areas," she told TOI, adding the finance department has sanctioned budget to deal with the crisis. Drought in the state has so far affected 48 lakh farmers in 228 tehsils while an area of 44 lakh hectare has also been hit by the severe arid conditions. Apart from Rs 2,400-crore compensation to be extended to the farmers for crop damage, the state has also sought an additional Rs 300 crore from the Centre for drinking water supply in various districts. "Water shortage may turn worse in the coming months as wells are drying up and underground water sources are limited. We have identified worst-hit areas and are making arrangements on war footing," state agriculture minister Gaurishankar Bisen told TOI. During previous year, monsoon played havoc in various parts of state with eastern Madhya Pradesh being the worst-hit. This area recorded only 29 per cent of the normal rainfall, while overall the state recorded a deficit of 12 per cent, according to the Indian meteorological department. Katni received only 43 cm rainfall, 56 per cent less than the average of 97 cm. The situation was equally grim in Bhopal, Sehore, Panna, Rewa, Raisen, Shajapur, Tikamgarh, Anuppur, Satna and Narsinghpur.
