Paddy production hit after flooding becomes more frequent in Bhajani

Nearly 20,000 families were affected by the floods and inundation in several districts in September. The floods inundated houses and paddy fields belonging to around 9,000 families in Bhajani alone.

Santoli Dagaura Tharu, a local farmer of Pakadiya in Bhajani Municipality-3, is facing a shortage of food this year. She owns 11 kattha (0.9 acre] of farmland which would produce more than enough for her four-member family.
