Fadnavis cites reports, asks officials to make drought mitigation plan
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has asked officials to prepare a comprehensive mitigation plan due to the possibility of drought this year, an official said on Thursday. The official said Fadnavis cited media reports of the United States government's weather agency National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) indicating a possibility of 'El Nino' condition developing late summer. As per weather experts, an 'El Nino' condition is when surface water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean becomes warmer than average and the east winds get weaker, bringing about extremes that include flooding or drought. "There is likelihood of a drought situation this year and the government needs to be well prepared to ensure people's hardship is minimised," the official said. The directives came at the cabinet meeting earlier this week, he added.

This means, the rainfalls will remain below normal in the August - September period, the crucial stage of germination and crop development."Five - 10 per cent of diversion in favour of short duration crops is possible this season as farmers might be looking to mitigate the risk of crop damage in the later part of the monsoon season. However, farmers with limited alternatives will continue with normal season crops like earlier. Most importantly, the progress of rainfalls would determine the fate of kharif crops this season," said M K Dhanuka, Managing Director, ...
