The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Severe drought has hit Kolar, Chikkaballapur, and Bengaluru Rural districts after three months of no rainfall and falling groundwater levels.
- Farmers are struggling to save crops such as mango, pomegranate, and grapes, as even borewells drilled 1,000 to 1,500 feet deep are not finding water.
- Livestock owners face shortages of drinking water and fodder, and some are migrating to distant areas with their sheep and goats.
- Farm labourers have become jobless as farming activity has stalled, and even construction work in towns has stopped.
- A farmers' leader has urged the government to declare the three districts drought-hit and give Rs 25,000 per acre along with crop insurance and tanker water supply, which matters because relief now will decide how many farmers can survive the season.
What to watch next
- Whether the government declares the three districts drought-affected and announces relief measures
- Completion of a scientific crop-loss survey for insurance and compensation payouts
- Progress on permanent irrigation projects and subsidised fodder supply for livestock
