It sprawls over an area of 19,638 km2 and a population of more than 914,291. It is home to many poor peoplewhose livelihood majorly depends on agriculture and livestock.Three districts of Tharparkar—Mitthi, Diplu, and Chachero—have been arid due to insufficientrainfall in the past two years. Consequently, there has been no crop or fodder. The amountof clean drinking water has also depleted. There is a stark deficiency of eatables.
