Declare Latur drought-hit immediately, demand MP, Congress leaders
Latur, Sep 17 (PTI) Congress leaders have urged the Maharashtra government to declare the Latur district drought-hit and initiate urgent relief measures, citing inadequate rainfall and extensive damage to kharif crops.
Speaking at a review meeting of the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee, they said the prevailing drought-like situation warranted immediate government intervention and financial assistance to farmers.
The meeting was attended by Latur MP Shivaji Kalge, ex-minister Amit Deshmukh and MLC Vikram Kale.
