The loss (along with area) includes Pomegranate - 4540.30 hectares, Sweet Lime - 352.71 hectares, Grapes - 8 hectares and Mango - three hectares. The district had received rainfall beyond the expectation. As a result, all the water bodies got charged, and we are witnessing their overflowing, including percolation tanks. The standing pools of rainwater are formed in the farms due to downpour in the district. The small and petty farmers are badly affected due to the natural disaster. Following the demand of farmers, the state government ordered a joint inspection of crops. Hence the panchanama to assess crop loss was done jointly by the officials from the department of agriculture, revenue and Zilla Parishad. Mote said, " The government will pay the compensation against the crop loss as per the categories. We have jotted down the details. Monetary help of Rs 6,800 will be sanctioned to farmers owing dry land, Rs 13,500 to farmers having orchids and Rs 18,000 to farmers cultivating fruits on their land. Meanwhile, the loss of crops held in September is underway."
