Mandya: The water level at the Krishnarajasagar (KRS) reservoir has dipped to 82.94 feet on Tuesday creating concerns among cane farmers in the region, reports The Times of India.
The water level during the corresponding period last year was 104.58 feet. The lower water level in the dam may affect sugarcane crops in the region.
“Farmers are already suffering losses as they are not earning any profit out of crops. If there is no rainfall in the next few weeks the cane and paddy farmers will suffer losses,” said Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha’s Mandya district president Kempegowda.
