BELONIA, July 19 (TIWN): Farmers suffered a huge loss due to heavy rains as incessant rains have destroyed crops.

Sources said that continuous rains might cause more damage to farmers who have already suffered huge losses due to water logging in the agriculture fields following heavy rains in the recent past. Huge loss of standing crops has been reported from Hrishyamukh, BC Nagar, Poangbari, Baikhora and Sabroom  villages along with other villages.

The loss could not be estimated as no official from Agriculture department yet inspected the affected areas due to Holiday. The affected farmers said that various vegetables due to outpouring in fields and lower regions. Muhuri River, Lowgang River, Feni River embankment is alrready under water. 

According to villagers, boulder should be set up shortly to prevent collapsing of embankments or the entire village would get drowned.Nobody paid attention to those people on the day. The villages have to use dirty impure water to meet up the scarcity of drinking water. Moreover the power supplies, cable TV network & also the water supply here in South Tripura District. BSNL service is also down since last Night. It seems like that people have to suffer for the next few days more.
