Kashmir Saffron Farmers Face Crisis Due to Dry Spell

Kashmir Saffron Farmers Face Crisis Due to Dry Spell

Farmers in Kashmir are very worried because there hasn't been enough rain for a long time.

Saffron, a special and expensive spice that grows there, needs a lot of water to grow well.

Without enough rain, the saffron plants aren't growing properly, and farmers are afraid they will lose even more of their crop next year.

This is especially bad because they have already lost a lot of saffron this year due to bad weather and animals eating the plants.

Many families depend on growing saffron to make a living, and they are asking the government for help to save their crops.
