April 20, 2016 - Latur, Maharashtra - 20 April 2016 - Latur - INDIA...Farmer Balasahab Kale, 60, from Sai, outside of the town of Latur, with his buffalo.The administration has started widening & deepening the Sai river for water harvesting..Latur is part of the stateÕs predominantly agricultural Marathwada region, where 273 farmers committed suicide between January and March this year.The area is among the worst affected by the drought and some families in Latur have left for cities such as the state capital Mumbai, nearly 500 kilometres away. In Latur town, there are huge queues at water storage tanks that are fed from dams. People wait in the searing heat for hours, sometimes the entire day, to fill up their containers. Police guard some of the tanks to prevent fights.Water is also being supplied to Latur by rail, with two 50-wagon trains arriving last week. .The Indian government says about 330 million people in 10 states are affected by the drought, which has been blamed on two consecutive years of poor monsoon rainfall. Adding to their misery, temperatures are above 40¡C - unusually high for the time of year..Widespread production of sugar cane, a water intensive crop, in MaharashtraÕs Marathwada region, which includes the districts of Latur, Beed and Osmanabad, is also widely blamed for draining water resources.
