Vizianagaram Joint Collector Mayur Ashok said the government has set up a control room (No.83310-56278) in the Collector’s office to enable farmers to know the details about the saving of standing crop against the backdrop of deficit rainfall in a few mandals.
He said agriculture officers and experts would provide suggestions to the farmers in selecting other crops which needed less water sources. Speaking to The Hindu on November 17, he said that the government would come to the rescue of farmers by taking extra care in procurement of paddy in December, 2023 against the backdrop of drop in yield due to deficit rainfall in the months of October and November, 2023.
