Drought affects more areas

SEMARANG, Central Java: Drought has affected more regencies
throughout the province.

The local social services office has been supplying clean
water to another two regencies: Blora and Wonogiri. Since last
week, it has sent water to four stricken regencies.

Hadhy Wasito, who heads the office's section in charge of
relief aid, called on the public yesterday not to waste water in
anticipation of prolonged drought.

However, he assured that the food supply is adequate because
the provincial government still has 125 tons of rice.(imn)
