Rajasthan seeks fodder supplies from Haryana and Madhya Pradesh amid shortage
What happened
Due to deficient monsoon rainfall, the Rajasthan government is seeking fodder supplies from Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh. The state has asked neighboring states to reserve crop residue, particularly paddy straw, for Rajasthan instead of burning or diverting it for industrial use. Officials from the state Animal Husbandry Department are assessing fodder availability in the three states.

Why it matters
The situation is driven by anticipated fodder shortages, with Rajasthan classifying nine districts as critical and 22 as semi-critical. The government also warned that artificial stockpiling of fodder could drive up prices.
