|July 09, 2025
INCESSANT rainfall over the last 15 days has brought kharif cultivation to a grinding halt across Koraput district.
Over 5,000 hectare of paddy fields, especially in Jeypore sub-division, are submerged, dealing a blow to farmers.
Rains which began lashing the district in the last week of June continued till Monday evening, disrupting agricultural activities at a critical time. Heavy rainfall in the catchment areas of Indiravati and Kolab rivers led to inundation of farmland in Jeypore, Kundra, Borigumma, and Kotpad blocks.
