PM Modi should visit drought-hit areas.


PM Modi should visit drought-hit areas.
The Issue
This is the fourth year of drought in Marathwada in the past five years. Each of its 8,522 villages have been affected. About 330 million people are affected by drought in India.Thousands of farmer commited suicide. Cattel are dying in thirst and hunger. The stock of 'live water' or 'usable water' in seven key dams in the drought-struck Marathwada region of Maharashtra, including Asia's largest earthen dam Jaikwadi in Aurangabad, has come down to zero. In Latur and Parbhani, the district collector there has imposed Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code, banning assembly of five or more persons near the tanker-filling areas. As many as 2,745 water tankers are being used in the region compared to 939 this time last year.Latur in Marathwada has been getting water by a special "water train".people have dug borewells as deep as 1500 feet to fetch water. 10,000 litres of water was used in preparing a make-shift helipad for a union minister's chopper. Minister is started taking selfies with work going on in the drought area and supported water for beer companies. The PM Modi has become a global leader now. He is continuously visiting other countries across the world but at this moment we need his suppprt. He holds 20 rallies during polls, why doesn't he visit Marathwada and see what's happening?People of this country are reeling under drought and are dying of hunger and thirst.
