Rainfall brings cheers to farmers



MAHOTTARI: The rainfall that occurred Tuesday night has become a huge relief to the people in the district who had been afflicted by the scorching heat since the beginning of the Nepali new year.

The rainfall not only contributed to decrease heat but also made it a favorable atmosphere for farmers to till the land. They are happy to till the cultivable land in the wake of rains.

Bindeshwor Yadav from Manahari of Bardibas-7 said they would now begin sowing corn, and millet and planting rice.

He further said rain removed the dryness. “It encourages us to till the land for summer crops,” he added.

Earlier, the storm had damaged the fragile plants and vegetables in the district. Chauthi Sardar Bantar from Bhangaha-4 said the storm damaged the litchi and mango trees which had just begun yielding fruits.
