Farmers face severe water shortage in Krishna delta

Farmers in the Krishna delta are facing a big problem.

They need water to grow their rice plants, but the government isn't providing enough.

This is happening during the kharif season, which is a important time for farming.

The farmers say that only a small part of the land they planned to use has gotten water so far.

Some of their plants are drying up and cracking because of the lack of water.

The government is trying to fix the problem by removing some unauthorized water pumps, but the farmers are still worried about losing their crops.
