Any further delay in the rains may be a death knell for their kharif crops. A ground report.

महाराष्ट्र का मराठवाड़ा क्षेत्र सूखा, फ़सल बर्बादी और किसानों की आत्महत्या के लिए जाना जाता है। एक बार फिर बारिश में देरी ने किसानों को चिंता में डाल दिया है। जिन्होंने अपनी खरीफ फसलों की बुआई कर ली है उनके लिए बारिश का न होना पहाड़ टूटने से कम नहीं है।
