While interacting with the media during the conference, Anita Dixit, President, Dushkal Nivaran Samanvay Samiti said, “We are organising this play in the city so that people from urban areas get an insight about the problems faced by rural areas, farmers and their family. We have been working in drought-affected areas like Marathwada, Latur and Beed since February. We have been supplying them with food grains and tumbler for the cattle to facilitate them in drinking water.”
