What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Irrigation Consultative Committee decided not to release water from the Almatti and Narayanpur reservoirs for irrigation during the coming rabi season, citing drought conditions and limited water availability. This decision will adversely impact farmers in the Upper Krishna Project command area, specifically in Vijayapura and Bagalkot districts. The committee resolved to reserve the available water exclusively for drinking and industrial purposes.
