Priyank Kharge, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj and district in charge, directed the officials to conduct an eye estimation survey to assess crop loss due to scanty rainfall during the current Kharif season.
Chairing a meeting with the officials of various departments to review the drought situation here on Saturda, Mr. Kharge ordered a survey of both agriculture and horticulture crop loss in the district. Considering the deficit rainfall recorded across the Kalaburagi district in August month, the district has been declared as drought-hit.
