Shifting IPL matches not solution for drought: Laxman

Shifting IPL matches not solution for drought: Laxman

Rediff.com7 Apr 2016

Amid the furore over water being being used to maintain cricket pitches for IPL games in drought-hit Maharashtra, Sunrisers Hyderabad mentor VVS Laxman said shifting matches is not a solution for what is now a national problem. "I don't think that it is a solution. You have to find out the root cause of the main problem. As I mentioned, it's been bad as far as monsoon are concerned. It's not only a problem in one state but throughout the country. So, shifting from Mumbai will not be a real solution," he told reporters in Hyderabad at an event. Asserting that shortage of water is a fallout of global warming and climate change, Laxman said it is a phenomenon that affects the whole country. "Identify the root cause and I am sure the government is looking into it and the necessary departments have to take all the precautions so that it does not happen. Because, this is going to be a problem. We have seen so much of global warming. "One of the major effects is climate change which indirectly will affect the water. We have seen that in the past. It affects the country, not one or two cities," Laxman said.
