Loss to farmers
People also expressed anger due to the Nagar Palika not making any arrangements to treat water logging. The early sowing done by the farmers due to rain has caused water logging in the fields, which has also caused damage to the crops. Farmers told that due to excessive rain the fields got filled with water. The crops got spoiled even before they could grow. This might require sowing again. Farmer Sukharam Chaudhari Kitlasar said that due to excessive rain in the fields, the crops of the farmers have been damaged. This will require sowing again in many fields.
