Mumbai: In view of severe drought in parts of Maharashtra, the state government on Tuesday decided to set up separate fodder camps for sheep and goats in addition to other cattle heads in the affected areas. The decision was taken at a meeting of a Cabinet sub-committee chaired by Relief and Rehabilitation Minister Chandrakant Patil.
