Home minister instructs local authorities in Madhesh to identify drought-hit areas

If there are water sources in government offices, schools, hospitals, or NGO offices, those should be used for drinking purposes, he says.

Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak on Saturday instructed local authorities in the Madhesh Province to effectively coordinate and facilitate the identification of areas facing drinking water and irrigation problems, prioritising locations for the installation of deep tube wells and deep borings.
