Meanwhile, Modi who held a district level meeting with officials in Bhavnagar today to review the scarcity situation asked them to do away with the old-fashioned relief manuals and apply innovative methods to deal with the situation.
The state government had recently declared 14 districts and 152 talukas of the state as scarcity-hit due to deficient rains and announced a stimulus package.
