Heavy rainfall in Badaun district over the past few days has caused significant distress among farmers. The continuous downpour has severely damaged standing maize crops in various areas. Many maize fields are submerged in water, raising concerns about crop rot. Farmers report that the maize crop was on the verge of maturity, and this untimely rain has ruined their entire season's hard work.

Farmers explained that they had invested heavily in fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides, hoping for a good yield. However, the unseasonal rains have dashed their hopes. Waterlogged fields have led to the rotting of maize cobs and weakened the roots of the plants. This situation has left farmers financially devastated and worried about their future.

Farmers are now demanding immediate compensation from the government. They state that without timely compensation, it will be difficult for them to sow the next crop. They have appealed to the administration to conduct a swift survey to assess the damage and provide adequate compensation to the affected farmers. Farmers have also urged the government to establish a permanent policy to deal with such disasters, ensuring protection from similar losses in the future. Local representatives have supported the farmers' demands and urged the government to take prompt action.
