Absence of adequate numbers of agriculture officers is reportedly delaying crop loss assessment in the district, leaving the farmers in a lurch.

Sources said the untimely rains last week caused significant damage to paddy and vegetable crops in vast tracts of agriculture lands in Balikuda, Naugaon, Biridi, Jagatsinghpur, Tirtol, Erasama, Raghunathpur and Kujang areas.

While farmers were yet to recover from the unexpected crop damage, fresh showers in the last two days have pushed them to the wall.
