Sena asks BJP govt to tap options apart from cloud-seeding
July 02, 2015 11:39
Shiv Sena has expressed reservations over the outcome of the proposed cloud-seeding project by the BJP-ruled Maharashtra government, which is aimed at generating artificial rains, and asked it to explore other alternatives as well to make water available for scarcity-hit regions.
"If the monsoon conditions do not improve in the near future, it will be the fourth consecutive year of drought in the state. There is no reason to complain against the cloud-seeding project, but the question is how much rainfall will this project actually generate?" Sena questioned in an editorial in the party mouthpiece 'Saamana'.
Expressing doubts over the success of the ambitious project, Sena asked the Devendra Fadnavis government, in which it is also a partner, to also explore additional alternatives to provide water to dry areas and not rely only on generating artificial rains.
