Hailstorm, unseasonal rain lashes Shirur Taluka; Several crops damaged

A hailstorm accompanied by stormy winds has caused extensive damage to crops in Shirur taluka, including areas like Savindane, Kavathe Yamai, Malthan, Chandoh, Jambut, Malwadi, Takali Haji, and Sharadwadi. The hail was so severe that it covered the entire roads in the fields.

As per the information provided, as a result of the unexpected hailstorm, various crops such as sugarcane, potato, onion, maize, sorghum, pomegranate, wheat, and others have been affected. It is being urged that the government should promptly carry out a Panchama to assess the damage to the crops and provide compensation.

As per the information received, an unexpected storm and hail destroyed the crops, leaving the farmers with nothing but shattered dreams and financial ruin. The crops have suffered significant damage this year as a result of drought and hailstorm, raising concerns about how they should repay the agricultural loan obtained from the bank. It is imperative for the government to promptly address this issue and provide financial assistance to the farmers.
