HYDERABAD

In the wake of the increasing impact of the El Nino phenomenon and the shortage of water in reservoirs, Advisor to the State Government P. Sudarshan Reddy has suggested that the farming community not go for the second (Rabi) crop as drought-like conditions are already prevailing in Telangana.

In a statement, the ruling party MLA from Bodhan stated on Sunday that the State is facing a shortage of drinking water and electricity is also in short supply, and it is the responsibility of the officials of Agriculture, Horticulture, Irrigation, Electricity and Revenue Departments to ensure that farmers do not undertake the second crop.
