Reacting to chief minister A Revanth Reddy’s appeal to farmers to skip one crop during the coming yasangi season to conserve drinking water, Narayana Reddy said farmers could not be expected to forgo cultivation without adequate compensation. He sought a special per-acre package covering crop losses, unsown lands and farmers who followed the govt’s advice.
