In such a situation, the sound of drought has started appearing at the time of sowing the seed. In the district, from the first week of June, the work of sowing chickpeas started. Till now 30 to 40 percent of the work of weeding was done. This time, in the midst of the scorching heat, such a terrible situation has developed that not even one per cent seed was sown.
