The City and District Congress Committees in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, have formally requested that the district be declared drought-affected due to low rainfall and escalating hardship among the populace. District Congress leader and MLA Mahesh Parmar has urged Chief Minister to immediately label Ujjain as drought-affected and unveil a specialized financial aid package for farmers.
City Congress head Mukesh Bhati explained that insufficient precipitation has left reservoirs partially filled and groundwater levels depleted. Congress is demanding an immediate suspension of loan recoveries by banks and cooperative institutions, consistent electricity provision across urban and rural regions, and the postponement of unpaid electricity bill settlements and four months of complimentary electricity connections.
They also request alternative drinking water solutions, preservation of existing water resources, and water distribution via Narmada pipelines throughout urban and rural areas. Additional demands include starting relief initiatives promptly, settling unsettled crop insurance claims for fiscal years 2024-25 and 2025-26, repairing damaged urban pipelines for adequate water pressure, and halting the provision of polluted drinking water.
Congress firmly asserts that immediate governmental action is imperative to tackle the drought-like circumstances afflicting Ujjain.
