Pune District Enforces Fodder Transport Ban and Plans Water Cuts Amid Drought
Pune district administration has imposed a ban on transporting and selling green and dry fodder outside the district to prevent shortages amid drought in eight talukas. Concurrently, authorities plan a 20% cut in water supply from Khadakwasla dam and urge judicious water use to ensure drinking water availability until August 2027. Crop damage assessments in drought-affected areas are ongoing, with financial aid for farmers expected before Diwali. Enforcement measures target illegal water extraction to manage scarce resources.
