Rainfall Revives Hope for Madhesh Farmers as Paddy Plantation Gains Momentum

Janakpurdham. The recent two-three days of rainfall have brought new hope to the farmers of Madhesh, who were worried about the drought and lack of adequate rainfall for several weeks. With timely rain, paddy transplantation has started to gain pace, and farmers who cultivate relying on rainwater are also returning to their fields.

Previously, paddy transplantation was only happening in areas irrigated by canals, channels, pumpsets, and motors. However, due to the lack of rain, fields dependent on rainwater were left barren. Farmers say that the current rainfall has created an environment for starting transplantation even in those fields.
