Farmers in Thakurgaon have been left in despair after 24 hours of continuous rain. The continuous rain has submerged paddy, potato and vegetable fields in the fields. This has raised fears of crop loss in various parts of the district.
Motaleb Hossain, a farmer from Bhawanipur village in Ranishankail upazila, said, “The paddy was ripe, I had fixed the day to harvest it. But this rain has ruined everything. The paddy in the fields is now completely under water.” In this situation, farmers say that if the sun does not rise soon, it will be impossible to harvest the crops.
The same picture was seen in the fields of Haripur, Baliadangi and Pirganj upazilas. The continuous rain has caused extensive damage to paddy and vegetables on many hectares of land in the district.
