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.
