Havoc of Hailstorm in Rajasthan: Narma Cotton Crops Devastated in Several Villages, Including Khuiyan
On Sunday evening, the weather in Rajasthan's Nohar region took a sudden turn, resulting in strong winds, rain, and hailstorms across several surrounding villages, including Khuiyan. This sudden shift has inflicted severe damage upon the farmers' Narma cotton crops.
In villages such as Nimla, Khuiyan, and Birkali, heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds lashed down amidst dark, ominous clouds. During this episode, pea-sized hailstones continued to fall for approximately 5 to 8 minutes, causing the standing crops in the fields to be flattened.
The impact of the hailstorm was most acutely felt in Khuiyan and Mandarpura, where the Narma cotton crops were completely devastated. According to local farmer Gorishankar, the hailstorm that followed the heavy rain has severely damaged the crops.
Farmer Manjit Godara noted that the younger Narma cotton crops, in particular, have borne the brunt of this natural calamity.
While the change in weather did provide some relief from the heat, the strong winds caused tree branches to snap and fall onto the roads in several locations, subsequently disrupting traffic and commuting.
