Farmers Struggle with Irrigation Due to Blocked Canals
Farmers in Godavari districts are having trouble getting water to their crops.
This is because the canals that carry the water are full of weeds and blocked.
The government gave money to clean the canals, but some people think the money wasn't used correctly.
Farmers are now protesting to get the canals cleaned so their crops can get water.
They also believe that a local leader is being targeted as part of a political disagreement, which is why the water supply is blocked.
The farmers want the government to step in and fix the problem so their crops can thrive.
Farmers in Godavari districts are facing irrigation difficulties due to uncleared weeds in canals.

Funds have been released for weed removal, but there are allegations of improper spending.

A case has been filed against a Jana Sena leader, which farmers claim is politically motivated.
