The farmers in the drought-prone Prakasam district are keeping their fingers crossed in view of the poor storage in the reservoirs across the Krishna river in Andhra Pradesh.
As a result, they could not grow crops in the ayacut coming under the Nagarjunasagar Right Bank canal even in the month of September. They will miss growing paddy and irrigated dry crops during kharif both under Darsi and Ongole branch canals of NRBC.
