Today Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani tells farmers to skip sowing summer crops scarcity of Narmada waters.

Kharif crops including Jowar, Rice, Millet, Maize, Soyabean, Turmeric and Cotton would have effect in this summer.

Gujarat government would not be able to provide irrigation water.

Rupani added that after 20 years, this year we are facing scarcity of Narmada Water. Discharge of Narmada Water continues against less influx of water in the dam.

Existing water level is sufficient to meet requirement of drinking water in summer season.

The decision has been taken to provide only drinking water in consultation with Narmada Control Authority.
