http://www.thenewsminute.com/article/farmer-suicides-are-rapidly-rising-why-isnt-telangana-declaring-drought-34139 While the Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS) government admits that the crisis is real, they claim that they have inherited the legacy of suicides and they are not completely to blame. Kiran feels that the government is taking a very bureaucratic approach to the whole issue, which is delaying the declaration of drought. "When a state government wants to declare drought, it writes to the Centre, who then send a team to assess the ground reality and make the decision," he says. The declaration of drought will also help the farmers with compensation and implement crop cutting measures to better the crisis. However, with each passing day, the situation is getting worse and the Centre will not act until the state government calls on it. "Time is of the essence. The state government must declare drought quickly, or things will only get worse," Kiran adds. Srimanthudu Audio Review |
