Unseasonal rainfall in Tamil Nadu's Nagapattinam and Mayiladuthurai districts drown samba paddy

The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram

January 20, 2025

FARMERS in the coastal delta region of Tamil Nadu are worried as sudden, unseasonal rainfall in Nagapattinam and Mayiladuthurai districts and Puducherry's Karaikal in the past two days has left their harvest-ready samba paddy under water.

- ANTONY FERNANDO @Nagapattinam

Officials said that nearly one-third or 50,000 hectares of the 1,35,000 hectares under cultivation in the region have been inundated.

In Nagapattinam, a majority of farmers skipped kuruvai cultivation due to the delay in release of Cauvery water from Mettur dam and have cultivated samba paddy on about 63,000 hectares. Of this, paddy on around 10,000 hectares has been harvested so far. The remaining is expected to be harvested this month.

Will Asia Cup drama spill over to Women's WC?

THE Asia Cup, perhaps, ended in the most apt manner possible. After three weeks of back and forth, multiple handshakegates, geopolitical intrigue, ugly verbals, and press conference point scoring, the posttournament ceremony finished in farcical circumstances. India refused to take the trophy from Asian Cricket Council chair Mohsin Naqvi (also Pakistan's interior minister), Naqvi refused to cede ground and India celebrated with an imaginary one to end the night.
