Half of India is facing drought like situation, 246 districts declared drought affected. Today I visited Punjab state and found it lush green fields everywhere with paddy crops.
Reason being the level of underground water is not that bad and Farmers here can afford the cost of other means of irrigation like tubewells etc.
But the story is a bit different in other states, with very marginal rain, crops damaged and due to that there is going to be a steep rise in prices of essential commodities.
