Taking note of the water scarcity situation across the state, the district administrations should start planning for it, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde directed the officials on Tuesday as he reviewed the water availability across the state. Only 94 out of 358 blocks in the state have received more than average rainfall this season, the CM was told during the meeting. “The district administrations should prepare detailed water scarcity plans and ensure judicious use of water while planning the water supply schemes. Forest department too should avoid auction of grass and store it to be used as fodder for cattle,” The CM said. Reported the Free Press Journal.
