The recent heavy rainfall in the Kej taluka has caused significant damage to crops and livestock, leaving local farmers in distress. In response, Tehsildar Rakesh Gidde has taken proactive steps to provide on-the-spot assistance to those affected by the calamity.
Community Support in Crisis
Various political leaders and local officials are working tirelessly to uplift the spirits of farmers who have suffered considerable losses due to the extreme weather conditions. This includes personal visits to the affected areas to assess the damage and offer moral support, as well as financial assistance.
Assessment of Damage
Tehsildar Gidde personally navigated through muddy roads and floodwaters to evaluate the extent of the damage inflicted upon local farmers. His efforts have been directed towards creating an objective report on the losses, which will be submitted to higher authorities for further action.
On-the-Spot Assistance
One heartbreaking incident involved a farmer named Mahadev Laxman Chadar, who faced tragic losses when two buffaloes, a cow, and a calf became trapped in rising waters. Despite efforts to save them, three animals perished. In response to this devastating loss, Tehsildar Gidde provided Mahadev with a cheque for ₹95,000, aiming to alleviate some of his grief and financial burden caused by the natural disaster.
Widespread Impact of Heavy Rain
The heavy rain has submerged crops in several villages, including Rajegaon, Dahintana, Borgao, Bhopala, Hadgaon, Doka, Lakha, Surdi, Sonesaangvi, Naigaon, and Isthal. Farmers in these areas have experienced overwhelming economic losses, with many crops entirely underwater. The situation has left these farmers with a sense of despair as their livelihoods are at stake.
Local Leaders Making a Difference
Political leaders, including Ramesh Adsarkar from the Nationalist Congress Party, along with local representatives, have been visiting affected farmers to provide reassurances and practical support. Their presence serves as a reminder that the community stands together in times of crisis.
