Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday said the state government is undertaking detailed planning to provide employment, foodgrains, drinking water and fodder for livestock in drought-affected areas over the next six to eight months.
At a meeting with a Central drought assessment team at his official residence here, Fadnavis said deficient rainfall during a crucial stage of crop growth had severely affected soybean cultivation in several areas, while cotton, tur and sugarcane crops had also suffered damage.
