Monsoon rains brought some of the most horrible moments in their lives. In the third week of this July, the rains created mayhem, leaving thousands of farmers and their families in misery in Peddapalli district.
With sand piled over hundreds of acres of agricultural fields as flood water receded, fallen trees, electric transformers uprooted, tar roads shattered, several parts of the district presented frightening and forlorn pictures.
As rainstorm hit on July 16 and 17, farmer Koteshwar’s family members huddled in their house in Khanapur village of Manthani mandal, suspecting that their agricultural fields would be ‘anyhow affected to some extent’.
