CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News /Agencies/ Bhopal: Rain lowers Raipur temperature to 22 degrees, crops face damage; Congress seeks compensation
Continuous rain in Chhattisgarh’s capital Raipur has increased the chill in the weather. Information has emerged that the daytime temperature has fallen to 22 degrees Celsius. Rain under the influence of Cyclone Arnab has affected daily life as well as agricultural activities. Farmers are feared to have suffered losses after harvested paddy lying in fields got wet. Meanwhile, the Congress has demanded compensation for affected farmers.
Due to continuous rain, protecting the paddy crop kept in fields has become a challenge for farmers. If the crop remains wet for a longer period, its quality may be affected. This could cause financial losses to farmers. Concern has especially increased among farmers who had kept paddy in the fields after harvesting.
On the issue of crop damage, the Congress has demanded that the government provide relief to affected farmers. The party has said the damage caused by the rain should be assessed and appropriate compensation should be made available to farmers so they can be helped to overcome the financial crisis.
People are also facing the changed weather conditions due to continuous rain and the fall in temperature. For farmers, it is important at this time to move the crop to a safe place and make arrangements to protect it from water. At present, official confirmation of any government decision on assessment of actual crop damage and compensation is necessary. A survey and administrative action will be important for affected farmers to receive relief.
