Water scarcity and crop damage plague rice farmers in Achukattu region

Farmers in the Achukattu region expressed concern over water scarcity and potential crop damage due to decisions made in the Krishna Achukattu region's irrigation advisory committee meeting. They noted that the scheduled water release from the Edandhe canal has not provided adequate water to their fields. Farmers stated that the lack of water is causing significant crop damage, with one farmer reporting that a 20-acre paddy field has withered due to water shortage.
