Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis yesterday directed the district collectors to concentrate on ensuring water supply in drought-hit areas and take strict action against those engaged in illegal sale of water. The CM gave the instructions while interacting with 21 collectors via video conference where he also reviewed the drought situation. He directed the officials to set up a ‘war-room’ in each district and a 24x7 toll-free helpline number so that people can seek help (regarding water supply, etc).
