Farmers face hardships due to scarcity of rainfall in MP's Chhatarpur

Farmers in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur are facing hardships due to lack of rainfall amid monsoon season.

They are demanding help from the state government.

Farmers have taken water on loan to produce their crops in the farms. While speaking to ANI, a farmer, Lalli said, "I have taken water on loan against 1/3rd of my agricultural produce.

The lack of rainfall has adversely impacted our crops." Speaking to ANI, the Divisional Commissioner of Sagar Division, Janak Kumar Jain said, "The intensity of rainfall has been low so far, but we hope that it will increase gradually.

However, instances, where farmers had to sow their crops again have not been reported until now.

We will facilitate farmers if needed."
