An Indian walk after collecting water from an almost dried up well as the cattle takes shelter under a tree at Siddhewadi, around 125 kilometer on the outskirts of Mumbai, India, 24 April 2016. Water tankers supply water from the Bhatsa river, which provide water to the eastern part of the city and near by areas. According to reports, 21 districts in Maharashtra are drought-affected. The drought, which has been ongoing for the past five months, prompted 11 states to declare a drought in 2015 and has now choked the growth of kharif (monsoon) crops, including sesame, millet and rice, for the second monsoon season in a row.
