  • Himachal Pradesh: Prolonged Dry Spell Drying Up Rabi Crops of Kangra Farmers; Threats to Citrus Fruits

    Farmers and fruit growers in Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district are concerned because the prolonged dry spell has not only dried up their rabi crops such as wheat, barley, and mustard, but also threatens to damage their citrus fruits. The farmers had planted these crops near the end of October when it had last rained. There has been no rain since, and the region remains drought-like. Most agricultural land in the Kangra Hills is rainfed, with few irrigation facilities. Wheat alone is planted on approximately 92,000 hectares in the district.
