The Maharashtra government announced drought in 265 of the state’s 358 talukas on September 26. The Marathwada region is severely affected, facing a nearly 19 per cent deficit in rain this year. Despite the drought, some villages in Marathwada have sufficient water to last until winter due to built or renewed recharge structures.
