Monsoon Mayhem: Kharif Crops Wiped Out Across Rajasthan Villages
Unprecedented rainfall has wreaked havoc across over 35 villages in Rajasthan, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The deluge, which began on August 6th, 2025, caused widespread waterlogging, severely damaging vital kharif crops like cotton and bajra.
Farmers in Jatusana, Khol, and Nahar blocks have been hit the hardest. Fields lie submerged, and the prospect of a failed harvest looms large. Many are facing potentially crippling financial losses.
The situation is particularly dire for small and marginal farmers. With little or no insurance coverage, many are staring at mounting debts and a bleak future. They are now desperately appealing to the state government for immediate compensation.
The extent of the damage is still being assessed, but initial reports paint a grim picture. The incident underscores the urgent need for robust agricultural insurance schemes and effective disaster relief mechanisms to protect vulnerable farming communities from the vagaries of the monsoon. The government’s swift response will be crucial in mitigating the crisis and preventing widespread rural distress.
