The Chief Minister directed officials to provide reports on crop damage, and he will decide whether to visit affected districts after examining the reports.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao would soon visit the districts where various standing crops suffered damage due to unseasonal rains and hailstorms in the last few days.
