Paddy brought for sale by farmers to the Tirumalagiri agricultural market was damaged by unseasonal rains that occurred on Saturday evening. This incident has caused distress among the farming community.
For the past week, large quantities of paddy have been arriving at the market, but procurement has not been completed on time. This delay resulted in the paddy remaining stored within the market premises.
Farmers have incurred losses due to the slow pace of purchases. The unseasonal rainfall further added to their financial setbacks.
Paddy stored in the yards of commission agents was also soaked by the rain, leading to losses for the traders as well.
