Drought not man-made, says Chavan

Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan today announced Rs 10 crore funds for the drought relief in the district.

Chavan, who reviewed the drought situation in the district today, stated while talking to reporters that drought was a consequence of bad monsoon, and not of any man-made factors as the opposition was accusing.

The state had received less than normal rainfall in the last two years, he said.
