severe hailstorm ruins crops - food shortage worry - Nepal

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index.php?smp=&lang=eng


Unexpected hailstorm that fell in Dolakha district yesterday destroyed crops worth millions of rupees, causing much distress for the local farmers. The hailstorm that preceded an incessant rainfall completely destroyed paddy harvest, cash crops and vegetable farms in most of the VDC’s of the district. Temperature also dipped to a record low due to the rainfall at the district headquarter Charikot yesterday night, badly affecting the normal life. After hailstones destroyed the crops and vegetables, farmers fear that the district might face a possible food shortage.)
