Parts of Maharashtra face drought as monsoons near end -Shiv Kumar

-The Tribune

Mumbai: Parts of Maharashtra are facing drought-like situation due to scanty rainfall in around 18 districts of the state, according to state government officials.

All the affected districts lie in the politically sensitive Marathwada and Vidarbha regions and the Devendra Fadnavis government is coming under pressure to undertake drought-relief work right away.

There is a major shortage of drinking water across Marathwada and people are dependent on tankers even for their basic needs,” said Nationalist Congress Party leader Dhananjay Munde.

According to the NCP, the kharif crops in Marathwada and Vidarbha regions are as good as lost.

“Cotton, corn, jowar and soyabean crops in Marathwada have been damaged due to poor rainfall,” Munde told reporters here.
