Mango growers bear the brunt
Mango growers in Sattupalli constituency bore the brunt of the unseasonal rain, which accompanied by strong gales, inflicted severe damage on mango crops which are under various stages of harvesting.
In a surprise raid, 65 tonnes of mangoes were seized from as many as 15 godowns here on Monday following complaints that the merchants allegedly ripened the fruits using carbide stones.
