Yadgir district received widespread rain in the last 48 hours. The widespread rainfall has brought the smiles back on the faces of farmers.
Farmers, who were eagerly waiting for rain, are happy and are now expecting a good yield this time.
“This rain will definitely help farmers who were in a worry when there was no rain for more than 30 days. However, the State government should conduct a survey and declare Yadgir district as drought-hit,” farmer leader Channappa Anegundi said.
Cotton is in flowering and bowl formation stage and red gram is in the growing stage and they required the rain.
Meanwhile, rainwater gushed into low-lying areas and street vendors, fruit merchants and vegetable venders faced difficulties due to copious rainfall.
