Aggrieved farmers of Maqdumpur village in Karimnagar Mandal poured out their woes before the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao who visited their village on Friday afternoon to listen to their grievances and instill confidence in them.
A paddy farmer rued that his entire crop on six acres had gone dry due to lack of water for irrigation amid high temperatures.
The check dam across a local stream was brimming with water in the last summer season and it proved a boon for us, he recalled, deploring that he had dug a borewell recently to salvage his paddy crop, but it failed, aggravating his financial woes.
