Aland MLA B.R. Patil has urged the Election Commission to allow the task force committees to function under the chairmanship of legislators of the respective constituencies with a view to combating drinking water crisis during summer.
Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Mr. Patil, who is an advisor to the Chief Minister, said that the code of conduct should not be a hurdle in drought relief work.
“Earlier, I wrote to the Election Commission asking for the formation of a task force as there will be drinking water problem in the summer. But, I have not yet received any reply from the Election Commission,” Mr. Patil said.
