Crops Loss Due to Floods in Guntur District : పదిరోజుల క్రితం వరకూ అవన్నీ పంట పొలాలు! ఇప్పుడు నీటి కుంటలను తలపిస్తున్నాయి. ఎన్నో ఆశలతో సాగు చేసిన పైర్లు నీటి పాలయ్యాయి. వరదలు వచ్చి పది రోజులు దాటినా పంటలు ఇంకా నీటిలోనే మునిగి ఉన్నాయి. గుంటూరు వాహినికి పడిన గండ్లు.. రైతులకు కడగండ్లనే మిగిల్చాయి.

00:00Until 10 days ago, the fields of Guntur district were full of green crops.
00:07After a long time in the project of Srisailam-Nagajunasagar,
00:11the farmers had a lot of hopes on the harvest of paddy, husk, rice and other crops.
00:18But, with the grace of Lord Krishna, watering the crops,
00:21and not being able to feed their children,
00:23the farmers' hard work was wasted.
00:26In Ponnur district of Guntur district, the crop loss was severe.
00:30Here, the farmers say that they had to eat 17,000 acres of paddy in 3 mandals.
00:36In Pedakakani mandal, 7,000 acres of paddy was sown.
00:40In Pedakakani, Venkatakrishnapuram and Devaraya Botla palan,
00:431,000 acres of paddy is still in water.
00:45In Chebroli mandal, 6,500 acres of paddy and 680 acres of paddy were eaten.
00:52In Ponnur mandal, 4,000 acres of paddy was lost.
00:5685% of the crop was sown by cows.
00:5935,000 acres of paddy was sown.
01:0215,000 to 20,000 acres of paddy was sown.
01:05The crop loss was severe.
01:08The farmers say that the crop is no longer useful.
01:11No matter how much money is spent on it, it is of no use.
01:15The crop loss was severe.
01:17Venkatakrishnapuram, Tangalamudi, Devaraya Botla palan,
01:22Kolakallur,
01:24Not a single acre of paddy is recovered.
01:28Not a single farmer is able to sleep.
01:33Because they have to pay for the cows.
01:35They have to pay for the paddy.
01:37The crop loss is very severe.
01:41All of them are small farmers.
01:43They are farmers with two to five acres of paddy.
01:46No crop loss has happened.
01:48Due to the rains and floods,
01:50the Guntur vehicle was hit by a gun.
01:53The crop loss was severe.
01:55In the past five years,
01:56the palan was not able to harvest any paddy.
01:59The paddy was stuck here and there.
02:01Even if the paddy was hit,
02:03the paddy was not recovered.
02:04We are from Orimakkam.
02:06We grow paddy based on rice.
02:11The paddy from Nambur has caused us a lot of damage.
02:17During that time,
02:18the paddy was hit four times.
02:20All of our paddy was submerged.
02:22Because of that,
02:24the paddy was completely damaged.
02:26The paddy was also hit by the flood.
02:31Even now,
02:32the paddy is still there.
02:35The paddy was lost because of the water
02:38that was six to five feet deep.
02:41The paddy was not recovered.
02:44To recover the paddy,
02:45we have to spend two to three rupees per acre.
02:48Because we live on this crop,
02:51even if we face a lot of loss,
02:53if we don't help this crop,
02:55God will bless us with another crop.
02:58That is why we are doing this.
03:00God has blessed us this year.
03:03We, the farmers,
03:04have put in a lot of effort.
03:06We are very happy.
