A severe hailstorm and gusty winds that struck Kulgam district yesterday evening caused massive destruction in the apple orchards. The apple-producing farmers in the district have suffered 100% damage. The strong winds and hail have uprooted trees, and the fruits have been completely destroyed.
For the farmers, this is nothing less than a disaster, as their entire crop for the year has been ruined. Many farmers, who had worked hard all year and had high hopes for the harvest, are now completely devastated. This incident occurred just when the harvest season was approaching, leading to significant financial losses for the farmers.
The farmers of Kulgam have expressed that this is a natural warning, and they urgently need government assistance to sustain their livelihoods. Many have requested both the state and central governments to provide compensation and announce a relief package to support them.
But according to the farmers, there is a need for a long-term plan to deal with such disasters.
This unexpected disaster in Kulgam has put the farmers in deep crisis, and now all eyes are on the government's forthcoming actions.
