Andhra Pradesh recorded a 38.9% rainfall deficit as of October 8 and declared 388 mandals across 21 districts as drought-affected due to El Nino conditions. The Chief Secretary directed officials to ensure uninterrupted drinking water supply and protect agricultural crops, while prohibiting the diversion of public water to non-drinking purposes, such as fish and shrimp ponds. The Chief Minister also called for expanding natural farming to help crops withstand drought and reduce input costs.
