MUMBAI: Very poor rainfall in Maharashtra has led to the State announcing that it is experiencing conditions akin to scarcity, according to a review by the Cabinet on Wednesday. Sixteen districts in the State have received rainfall below 50 per cent till July 8. The water storage in reservoirs is only 22 per cent against 47 per cent last year. Rehabilitation Secretary Ramesh Kumar said that due to poor rain, scarcity-like conditions prevailed in the State and there was no immediate forecast of rainfall that would alter the situation. No rains were forecast till July 14 and the situation was quite grim. The State is making sure that cattle camps and fodder stations are opened till the situation improves.
