Heavy rain in
Kangra district has damaged paddy and vegetable crops worth IRS 270 million.
According to agriculture department, about 20 to 25 per cent of paddy and maize
crops and 40 to 50 per cent of vegetable crops were damaged. The dwarf variety
of paddy that is more resistance to heavy rains and storms has also suffered
heavy damage. Though the state government has introduced crop insurance policy
for farmers of the state but very few of them have knowledge about the same.
