Ensure Continuous Drinking Water Supply

Madikeri, Sept. 19: Due to deficient rainfall in Kodagu district this season, the government has declared Virajpet, Somwarpet, and Ponnampet as drought-hit taluks. Deputy Commissioner S.J. Somashekhar has issued clear directives to the concerned officials and engineers to ensure there is no disruption in the supply of drinking water to people and livestock in the coming days.

He spoke after reviewing the situation regarding drinking water and livestock fodder supply during a meeting held with officials at the Deputy Commissioner's office on Saturday.

As the monsoon failed this year due to the El Niño effect, the government has declared taluks that received 33% to 50% less rainfall as drought-affected; consequently, necessary precautionary measures must be taken immediately.

The Deputy Commissioner instructed officials from relevant departments and engineers to take necessary precautions to ensure the supply of clean drinking water to the public, as well as drinking water and fodder for livestock.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Lingaraju Doddamani, Deputy Director of the Department of Animal Husbandry, stated that there is already a stock of fodder available for livestock, sufficient to last for 46 weeks.
