Senior IAS officer and Mysuru district In-charge Secretary S.Selva Kumar on Saturday told officials here to prepare an alternative plan for ensuring drinking water supply in rural areas in case of failure of monsoon in the coming days.
An interim plan had to be kept ready for supplying fodder and drinking water, Mr. Kumar said.
Presiding over the district-level KDP meeting, he said rains were expected this month but alternative measures were necessary for making drinking water available if rainfall was deficient. No town or village must face water crisis, Mr. Kumar directed the senior district officials.
