In early April, unseasonal rain and hailstorms have wreaked havoc on rabi crops across various states in India, including Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Farmers are expressing their distress over the damage, with many reporting that up to 90% of their crops have been destroyed. A farmer from Jhajjar, Haryana, highlighted the urgency for government assessments and compensation, stating that his entire crop was affected. Similarly, farmers in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, reported losses in wheat, mustard, and pigeon pea crops. The Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Bhajanlal Sharma, has instructed district collectors to assess the damage and ensure that affected farmers receive adequate support. Maharashtra’s Revenue Minister, Chandrashekhar Bawankule, also assured compensation for farmers impacted by the adverse weather. Rabi crops, which are crucial for the agricultural economy, are typically sown in winter and harvested in spring, making these losses particularly devastating for farmers reliant on this season's yield.
