Power disruptions threaten paddy crops in Yadadri Bhongir

Farmers in Rajapet are worried that their paddy plants may dry out.

They need electricity to run motors that pump water from wells and borewells.

The power supply is reportedly arriving late or stopping often.

At the same time, underground water levels are falling.

This means there is less water available for the fields.

Some farmers are buying water from tankers to protect their crops.

They have already borrowed money to grow the paddy and now face extra costs.

They want authorities to provide reliable electricity and help ensure enough water for irrigation.
