Rains Bring Relief, Worry Farmers in Godavari Districts
It rained a lot in the Godavari districts on Saturday.
This was good because it cooled down the hot weather, but it also caused problems.
Many roads and low-lying areas got flooded, making it hard for people to go to school or work.
Farmers are worried because their newly planted rice fields are underwater.
Experts say that if the water doesn't go away soon, the rice plants might get damaged, and farmers might have to plant new ones.
So, while the rain was nice for some, it's causing a lot of trouble for others.
Moderate to heavy rainfall occurred in Godavari districts on Saturday, bringing relief from the heat.
Low-lying areas, especially in Konaseema district, experienced waterlogging and disrupted traffic.
Farmers are concerned as continuous rainfall has inundated newly transplanted paddy fields.
Agricultural experts warn that prolonged water stagnation could damage crops in low-lying fields.
Farmers may need to replant paddy if floodwater does not recede soon.
