BHUBANESWAR: A day after chief minister Naveen Patnaik announced Rs 1,000 crore package for farmers hit by drought conditions in 12 districts, Odisha government today identified four more districts facing water scarcity. 

"Reports received from field level say that crop loss to the extent of 33 per cent and above have also been been experienced in 16 more blocks spread over four districts like Balangir, Bargargh, Jharsuguda and Nuapada. Therefore, these 16 blocks will be included in the list of drought affected districts of the state," Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Bijayshree Routray told reporters. 

He said the drought package announced by state government would be implemented also in the four additional districts, where farmers will get loan for Rabi crop among other assistances.
