crop damage reporting

The recent onslaught of high winds, relentless rain, and hailstorms has brought despair to the farmers of Jharkhand. Their once-thriving crops, including mangoes, watermelons, and a variety of vegetables, have been decimated, leaving many in a precarious financial situation.

In a decisive move to safeguard agriculture, Bihar has eliminated more than 3,000 nilgai (blue bulls) in the 2025-26 financial year. With gram panchayat leaders now holding the power to greenlight these hunts, the state has enlisted 13 sharpshooters to address the escalating threat to crops.
