    A three-day special session of the State Legislature is scheduled to begin in Bengaluru from September 21. While welcoming the convening of a special session to discuss the drought in the State, Mr. Nagendra said the session would be rendered meaningless if it failed to result in the implementation of programmes to address the severe drought situation.
