The
whole northern India is shivering with cold. MP is also facing
the same situation. On the one hand the biting cold is gripping
the people with several diseases. Whereas, crops have also
been affected badly. As per forecasts the cold would continue
for 2-4 days more. At present in most of the places mercury
is hovering around at 4-5 degrees. Cold wave conditions are
present in Indore, Ujjain, Bhopal and Sagar divisions. Other
divisions are also no better. This condition of the state
is due to snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir and adjoining areas.
Biting cold and hail have hit rabi and other crops badly.
Plants have become affected in most of the areas and their
growth is hampered. It is mentionable that the farmers of
the state have suffered loss of Kharif crops also because
of scanty rainfall. There was drought situation in some districts
of Bundelkhand, Rewanchal, Malwa and Nimad area. No sooner
the got relief from last crop, now loss of rabi crops stares
them. The assessment of loss of crops have not yet started.
It is necessary to understand loss of rabi crop after kharif
crop. It is essential that the government feel the pain of
farmers. The assessment of crop loss should be made soon.
Otherwise, dejected farmers' problems would continue to increase.
