Karnataka Chief Minister Shivakumar has instructed his cabinet ministers to visit all districts within the state to conduct a comprehensive review of the drought situation.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has directed all his ministers to embark on tours across the state's districts. The primary objective of these tours is to assess the prevailing drought conditions in each region.

This directive aims to gather firsthand information on the impact of the drought and to understand the ground-level challenges faced by the affected areas. The ministers are expected to report their findings back to the Chief Minister.

The government's move underscores the seriousness of the drought situation and the need for immediate and effective measures to mitigate its impact on agriculture and the general populace.
