Maharashtra government which is taking immediate steps to tackle acute drought in Marathwada, will bring fodder from outside the state, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said here today.
The government will also study the phenomena of irregular and insufficient rains and prepare future policy accordingly, Fadnavis said in an informal chat with newsmen here this evening.
There is also a proposal to provide water through railway rakes, he said.
The Chief Minister, who undertook a 4-day visit to five drought-affected districts in Mararthwada and also Ahmednagar, said he is also undertaking a tour of Solapur to review the water scarcity situation there tomorrow.
"During the tour, I got to visit some irrigation projects and see the situation on ground," he added.
