Due to the inflow of water, more than 350 out of 691 small and big dams in the state have overflowed. This has brought happiness among the people that due to the arrival of water in many dams that have been dry for many years, there is a hope of getting rid of the water crisis. But along with good rain, this disaster has also brought tears to the farmers. The continuous rain has washed away their year-long hard work in the fields in one stroke.
Kharif crops suffered heavy losses
Due to heavy rains, the Kharif crops of the farmers of the state have suffered heavy losses. This time in the Kharif season, instead of the target of 1 crore 64 lakh hectares, sowing has been done in only 1 crore 59 lakh hectares. But due to torrential rains, millet, sorghum, pulses, oilseeds cotton and soybean crops have suffered a lot. Seeing the hard work of the farmers getting washed away in the rain, the administration has instructed the Patwari to do Girdawari, so that the final figures can come out as to what is the actual situation. However, many experts believe that this time 30 to 50 percent of the crops may be damaged.
