Nashik MP Seeks Drought Trigger-1 Status For Three Talukas
Some villages in Nashik are not getting enough rain for their crops.
The affected areas are in Chandwad, Dindori and Niphad talukas.
Long periods without rain have made the problem worse.
The crops need water during important stages of growth.
MP Bhaskar Bhagre asked Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to examine each village separately.
He said officials should check rainfall, soil, crops and available water.
Villages that qualify could receive government help.
The article does not say whether the government has approved the request.
MP Bhaskar Bhagre urged Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to include eligible villages under Drought Trigger-1.
Villages in Chandwad, Dindori and Niphad are facing drought-like conditions.
Uneven rainfall, prolonged dry spells and inadequate crop-stage moisture have affected kharif crops.
Bhagre called for village-wise assessments rather than relying only on average taluka rainfall.
He requested relief and assistance for villages found eligible under drought and disaster norms.
