vegetable farmer in loss
Vegetable cultivators make their home and work hard day and night with their relatives to produce vegetables. But the terrible floods of the booming Rapti have snatched away a morsel of mouth from those living on the basis of vegetable cultivation. These days such farmers are taking shelter in other villages. Dozens of farmers from the villages of Bhadaria, Ghaznijot, Bithriya, Pikoura, etc. located in Cachar, used to maintain their livelihood by cultivating vegetables by putting a hut on the banks of the Rapti river along with the family. The havoc of the flood has ruined all their dreams this time.
