Friday, 25 July 2008 |
 Karnataka is also not much better off as it continues to wait for the rain.
The rain is playing havoc with Karnataka this year. They started early, and then seemed to stop for a while. And while parts of Bangalore are flooding, north Karnataka is parched and waiting for the monsoon to resume.
''For the last two years, the rain was good, but this year it is bad. We will not survive if the rain does not come,'' said Vittal Durgannavar, a Bailhongal farmer.
''Without the rain everything has dried up. We have spent five to six thousand per acre that is wasted. There is no other work available for us. How do we survive? There is a problem for drinking water,'' said Shivananda Hudakeri, farmer.
