Buraskhanda, Uttarakhand, Feb 1: Farmers of Buraskhanda village in Uttarakhand are distressed this year, as the natural cycle seems to have been upset with no rain and insufficient snowfall.
Besides the life-giving water, the snowfall takes a toll on the pests that afflict crops and helps the manure-compost to set well. But this year with dry weather everything seems to be getting wrong.
Jagat Singh, a farmer said that the little snow that has fallen so far is not enough for a good harvest.
