Cyclone Murasu | Paddy farmers in Telangana fear crop damage amid high market prices
Farmers growing paddy in Telangana are concerned that Cyclone Murasu will damage crops. Wet panicles are postponing harvest, raising the cost of machinery and requiring additional drying and labor. Officials have issued warnings and distributed tarpaulins to protect fields, but experts say crops still in the pre‑flowering stage could face the greatest losses in the coming weeks.
