The drought has severely affected farmers in Marathwada, particularly in areas like Ahmedpur and Hingangaon. Crops such as sugarcane, cotton, soybean, jowar, and tur have failed, leading to financial losses and food insecurity. Water scarcity is worsening, with local reservoirs expected to dry up by Diwali. Farmers are incurring high costs to clear their fields, with little hope of recovery even if rainfall occurs. The crisis is expected to deepen in the coming months, exacerbating economic and social challenges in the region.
