“The Super El Nino is expected to have a greater impact on South India with below-normal rainfall. Officials must prepare plans to ensure that all available water is used for drinking water needs until next July,” he told the meeting. He also directed police officials to maintain law and order while closely monitoring all related matters. Noting that inadequate rainfall over the past two months significantly reduced crop cultivation, the minister instructed officials to educate farmers on suitable crops to cultivate in the coming month, including rainfed, short-duration, pulses, and oil palm. The minister also instructed officials to prepare a comprehensive plan for Mission Bhagiratha drinking water supply in the district and to make all arrangements for the effective distribution of reservoir water.
