What happened
Residents of three villages in Gondia district, including Goregaon, have requested exclusion from Maharashtra’s list of drought-hit talukas. These villagers argue that the classification restricts irrigation water supply and that restrictions on dam releases have left canals dry. Paddy is the principal crop in Gondia and a major source of income for farmers.

Why it matters
