Central Team Apprised Of Drought-Like Situation Despite Recent Rains

Gandhinagar:The Gujarat government has asked the Government of India (GoI) to provide Rs 450 crore as “help” to fight vulnerable nutrition levels in 132 talukas, mainly belonging to Saurashtra, Kutch and North Gujarat, where the government believes a drought-like situation prevails, despite recent rains. The demand comes significantly close on the heels of Narendra Modi’s controversial statement where the chief minister said that middle class girls are so health conscious that they do not consume milk, hence suffer from poor nutrition levels.
