Bengaluru: The State Government has requisitioned Chief Electoral Officer, Karnataka, to give exemption from Model Code of Conduct (MCC) to convene a meeting to discuss about the management of drought and drinking water related situations and to address them.
Owing to the failure of monsoon and pre-monsoon rain last year, 223 taluks in the State were declared drought hit, with the complaints related to lack of water and fodder in those taluks. The situation is similar this year too and hence it is imperative to take up relief works in those taluks.
