Maharashtra has officially declared drought conditions across 265 of its 358 talukas, covering approximately 74% of the state. The declaration follows the activation of 'Trigger-1', the first stage in the state's drought assessment framework. This stage is initiated when a region records a rainfall deficit exceeding 25% alongside a continuous dry spell lasting at least 21 days. The widespread drought signals serious concern for agriculture and water availability across the majority of Maharashtra's administrative subdivisions.
