The Bharatiya Kisan Mazdoor Union on Saturday urged the State Government to take up immediate drought relief measures and provide aid to farmers and farm workers who are struggling to make a living in the wake of the dry spell.
Addressing the media here, BKMU State deputy general secretary R. Venkat Rao said the standing crops in large tracts of land were withering without rain. As a result, the farm workers, due to lack of work, were migrating to cities like Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
