Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the Ministers in charge of the district have been instructed to submit a report on the drought situation in their respective districts to the government by November 15.
Speaking to reporters at Mysuru airport on Sunday, Mr. Siddaramaiah said he had written letters to all the Ministers in charge of the district to study the drought situation in their respective districts by visiting all the taluks and interacting with people and legislators.
However, he said the State government was not waiting for the Centre to release funds to tackle the drought situation in the State. “We have already released ₹900 crore to take up relief works”, he said while regretting that the Centre had not released any money for drought relief works in the State.
