What happened

A prolonged dry spell has pushed Beed district toward severe drought, devastating Kharif crops and triggering an acute fodder shortage. The Bindusara reservoir, the primary drinking water source for Beed city, has dropped to 5% of its live storage capacity. A rainfall deficit lasting nearly 65 days has scorched soybean crops across large tracts of farmland.
