acres in Medak district alone due to Friday rains while the enumeration of crop loss is still underway in Siddipet and Sangareddy districts.

The rains lashed the erstwhile Medak district on Saturday as well causing huge amounts of loss to the farmers. Since the rain water flooded the paddy procurement centres, the harvested paddy was also damaged at several places. Meanwhile, mango crop was also damaged due to hailstorm.
