Farmers in Majalgaon face a difficult harvest as the absence of rain has caused cotton plants to wither.
Cotton plants in the Majalgaon area of Maharashtra’s Beed district are stunted and lacking bolls due to a drought, according to The Hindu.
The lack of rain has caused the harvest to wither, leaving farmers to search for the few bolls that the drought has spared.
In a four-acre field, Vanita Chauhan is picking the little cotton she can find under the October sun.
The heat is described as scorching as farmers work to collect what remains of the crop.
