Maharashtra Government has made a provision of 2685 crore rupees to tackle drought situation in the state. Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan informed this to the state Legislature yesterday, which was the last day of the monsoon session of Maharashtra Assembly.
Making a statement in both Houses of the Legislature, he said if needed an additional 500 crore rupees will be further earmarked to provide drought relief measures.
Chavan said the Maharashtra Government will pursue the issue of financial assistance to tackle the situation with the Centre. He said an all-party delegation will go to Delhi soon in this regard.
The Chief Minister said that there has been a decline in sowing operation in the state by around 22 per cent over the last year due to scanty rainfall.
