By the way, these days monsoon rains have wreaked havoc across the country.

Rain has been wreaking havoc in Maharashtra since the first day of July. And due to this heavy rain, crops in Vidarbha and Marathwada have been damaged on a large scale. The rain here has reduced to some extent for the last two days. But the Meteorological Department said that the threat of rain is not averted as there is a possibility of more rain here, due to continuous 15 to 20 days of rain in Gondia district, not only the Kharif crops have not been damaged but also the agricultural land in the district. Now completely destroyed. Please tell that Gondia is also known as Rice City, because rice is the main production here. But due to this rain, about 208 hectares of paddy crop in the district has also been estimated to be damaged. Now crop inspection and Panchnama have also started from the Agriculture Department. The officials of the Agriculture Department are also directly inspecting the fields by reaching them. It has also been said that in this regard, the entire report will be prepared and submitted to the government in 8 days. At the same time, farmers are also demanding early compensation.

Paddy was not even sown in Vidarbha every year due to less rainfall, but this year the whole picture has changed. Due to the delay in rains in June, the farmers also had to face the crisis of double sowing. After this, due to the heavy rains that started in July, crops have also been damaged due to waterlogging in the planted areas. Due to the accumulation of water in the fields, the crop has started rotting now. There is always a risk of decline in production due to above average rainfall at the beginning of the season. At present, Panchnama has also started and farmers are also hoping to get out of this economic crisis soon.

Panchnama work started in the district

In some areas of the Kharif season, as soon as the paddy crop was sown, the rains also started, so the inspection of the crops could not be done by the department. After the rain stopped for the last two days, the Agriculture Department has started the inspection work expeditiously. Apart from this, Panchnama of crops has also started in the damaged area in the district. The officials of the Agriculture Department are reaching directly to the farmers’ dam. In the inspection so far, it has come to the fore that the maximum damage has been seen to be done to the paddy crop. After that cotton cultivation has also suffered a lot.

Paddy is also the main crop of Kharif season in the district. Due to the delay in rains in June, farmers had transplanted in less rain, but in some areas the rain that started with plantation continued for 20 days continuously. Due to this, 208 hectares of crop has also been damaged in the district. Apart from this, the Agriculture Department also anticipates that it will increase further. This year the farmers of Vidarbha district have also been affected by the havoc of nature. Farmers are now waiting for government financial help.
