Little rain bad news for rice growers

'Rain, rain, go away, come again another day.' It was my rhyme in kindergarten. Now my prayer is: “Rain, rain, come again”. This year has seen very little rain which is affecting our agriculture as cultivation of rice is being hampered. As a result, the price of rice will increase and ultimately, farmers will be the losers. This is the result of our imprudence, as we are continuously destroying our environment for personal gains, without considering the consequences. It's time we woke up and did the needful.
