Oct. 28: A severe food crisis looms large over the state with the government deciding to declare a crop holiday for 75 per cent irrigable area in the Godavari delta in the forthcoming Rabi season.
The delta, with over 10 lakh acres in East and West Godavari districts and considered to be the rice bowl of the state, produces
27 lakh tonnes of paddy annually.
