In Kulluru and Venkatreddypalli villages of Kaluvayi mandal, around 400 acres of paddy fields have been completely flooded. Farmers watched helplessly as their nearly harvested paddy crops drowned in rainwater. The continuous flow of floodwater over the fields has damaged the crops beyond recovery.

Paddy spikes have begun to sprout due to prolonged submersion, deepening the farmers’ anguish. They lament that the harvest they were waiting for has turned into a heartbreaking loss. Many expressed fears that without immediate government support, they may not recover financially from this devastation.

Farmers have urged the government to act swiftly and provide compensation for the crop loss. They warned that if help does not reach them soon, extreme distress may drive some to consider suicide. The community hopes for urgent relief measures to prevent further tragedy.
