If we had the money lost to the oil hedging case amounting to US$ 163 million, a massive water desalination plant could have been built including pipe lines to all these areas providing water to these poor farmers with a clear sign of self sufficiency. Does MR and his regime have a single morsel of regret or remorse on this? No and never.

if rural areas are destroyed in the name development, how can we expect rains? There are no trees. In the name of developments many lands are destroyed to build building , sports centers and airports. BIA airport is enough

The way we use water for cultivation are very inefficient. only 2% of the water is used by the plants and others just evaporate or go down the earth. Our farmers should be educated on the new ways of using water efficiently.

This is natural disaster guys. Please dont blame the government. Right now there is a heavy drought in the USA also. You guys a bunch of whiners. If it rain too much you blame the Gov. If it does not rain you blame the Gov. Get a life you guys.
