A day after chairing a meeting to assess the availability of fodder and the steps to be taken for cultivating fodder for the livestock in the coming months to ensure there was no scarcity, Chamarajnagar Deputy Commissioner Shilpa Nag has issued an order prohibiting the transportation of fodder from the district to other districts and States as a precautionary measure to ensure availability for the animals of the district.
All taluks in the district had been declared drought-affected and there is a likelihood of the district facing fodder shortage in the coming days if no measures were taken.
By restricting fodder supply from the district to other districts and States, the possibility of shortage foreseen in the coming days could be addressed to some extent.
