The Karnataka state government is considering declaring an interim drought as erratic rainfall continues to damage crops across the Belagavi district. Officials are monitoring the situation and planning to provide temporary relief while managing water reserves for drinking purposes.
“The State government will explore the idea of declaring an interim drought, till the Union government announces it. We will appeal to Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to address the issue and he will take the final decision in the matter,” Minister Satish Jarkiholi said in Yaragatti of Belagavi district on Sunday.
