Considering the fact that most parts of the State are reeling under intense drought, officials should take up drought relief measures on a war-footing, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda said in Dharwad on Thursday.
Speaking to presspersons after chairing a review meeting, the Minister said that officials have been asked to increase person days under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).
“Supply of fodder to other States will be stopped. And, officials have been asked to tackle drinking water crisis on priority,” he said.
