Andhra Pradesh Faces Severe Drought Due to El Niño

Andhra Pradesh is facing a serious drought because of El Niño.

The state had 69% less rain in July than usual, and the next few months are expected to be even drier.

This could hurt a lot of crops, especially cotton and paddy.

The Chief Minister has asked officials to help farmers by giving them insurance, advice on what to plant, and making sure they have enough water.

They are also setting up special rooms to watch the weather and give farmers tips.

The government is trying to make sure farmers have enough food for their animals and that milk production doesn't go down.
