Amid Karnataka's request for Central drought relief, the State's opposition parties declined to join an all-party delegation to the Centre on the issue, deepening a political rift over the relief process.
Separately, a Central team is set to visit drought-affected districts in Karnataka from early October to assess crop losses, a standard step before the Centre releases funds.
Disaster relief in India follows a Centre-State cooperative framework under the Disaster Management Act, 2005.

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- The National Disaster Response Fund supplements the State Disaster Response Fund for calamities of a severe nature under the Disaster Management Act, 2005

ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 3 - Disaster Management. Issue: Karnataka's drought relief request has turned into a Centre-State political rift, with opposition parties skipping the all-party delegation even as a Central team prepares to assess crop losses under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 framework (NDRF supplementing SDRF). Way forward: insulating calamity assessment and fund release from partisan politics through time-bound, transparent Central-State coordination mechanisms.
