Medak town and Masaipet were only two places to record more than 10 cm rainfall across the State.

Meanwhile, Sangareddy and Siddipet districts also witnessed moderate rains during the period. The farmers, who brought harvested paddy to procurement centres, have found it difficult to save the produce. In many places paddy grains swept away with the rainwater.

Since the IMD was predicting more rains for the next few days, the farmers are worried over the delay of procurement of paddy.
