Mumbai: At a time when several parts of Maharashtra are facing severe water crisis, thousands of litres of water were used for a makeshift helipad at a village, close to the airport, where Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse landed for reviewing drought situation in Latur district.
Local officials used 10,000 litres water for the helipad at Belkund village where the minister paid a visit to review the drought and water scarcity relief measures today. Incidentally, Belkund is just around 40 km from Latur.
When asked about this “wastage” when Latur is being supplied water through rail wagons, Khadse, a senior BJP leader, said he wasn’t aware of the issue.
