Heavy Rain Brings Relief to Karimnagar Paddy Farmers

In Karimnagar district, farmers have been waiting for rain to grow their rice crops.

For the first time in weeks, heavy rain fell for two days, giving the fields the water they need.

The farmers started planting rice seedlings, even though officials had suggested growing other crops because they feared the rain might stop soon.

The rain also helps fill underground water, which can be used for irrigation later.

Still, many acres of rice are yet to be planted, and farmers are advised to consider crops that need less water.
