Central Teams Assess Drought Impact on Crops in Karnataka Districts
Central government teams visited drought-affected villages in Mysuru, Yadgir, and Raichur districts to assess crop damage and water scarcity caused by deficient rainfall during the kharif season. Officials met local farmers and district authorities to evaluate the impact on crops like tobacco, ragi, cotton, green gram, and red gram. The assessments will inform reports for potential financial relief under the National Disaster Response Fund to support affected agricultural communities.
