What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

In Fazilka, rain-damaged paddy stocks are struggling to find buyers. Incessant rainfall on October 11 caused extensive damage to the produce, which is discoloured and heated due to alleged inadequate drainage arrangements. Both government procurement agencies and private traders are reportedly reluctant to purchase the damaged crop.
