As many as 35 lakh farmers have been severely hit by the prevailing drought condition in the state. Crop damage due to water shortage is estimated at Rs 17, 000 crore and state government is eligible to obtain Rs 4702 crore for drought relief works in Karnataka under National Disaster Response Fund (NDFR). Therefore, the state government will ask the centre to release requested amount for drought relief works, chief minister said.
