✦AI Summary
Farmers in Karnataka are facing a severe agricultural crisis due to a delayed and weak monsoon, which has significantly hindered the sowing of red gram and other pulses. Many are now considering switching crops as reservoirs remain at precarious levels.
The delayed and inadequate southwest monsoon has left thousands of farmers across Kalyana Karnataka staring at an uncertain kharif season. Kalaburagi, India’s pulses bowl, is likely to see a sharp decline in production if the monsoon fails to revive over the next fortnight.
