Central Teams Assess Drought Impact Across Multiple Karnataka Districts
Central government teams have been visiting multiple drought-affected districts in Karnataka, including Mysuru, Yadgir, Raichur, Chitradurga, Hassan, and Davanagere, to assess crop damage and water scarcity caused by deficient rainfall. Officials met with farmers and local authorities to gather information on agricultural losses, groundwater depletion, and irrigation challenges. The state has estimated losses of around ₹46,000 crore and requested nearly ₹7,500 crore in relief. The teams will submit their assessment reports to the Centre by October 6 for potential financial assistance under the National Disaster Response Fund.
