Telangana Rytu Rakshana Samithi (TRRS) president Pakala Srihari Rao has expressed serious concern over weather department’s prediction on monsoon. According to the forecast, Telangana will see deficit monsoon this year.
In a letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Thursday, Mr. Srihari Rao said that deficit rainfall will directly impact farmers. “The worst hit will only be farmers as crop survival is directly dependent on rainfall,” he said. Mr. Srihari Rao urged the Chief Minister to protect the interest of farmers in case of drought-like situation and supply alternative seeds and other inputs in time.
‘Pay crop insurance premium’
He also requested the government to pay crop insurance premium for all the crops that would be sowed in the State and extend compensation in case of drought.
