BERHAMPUR: Even as paddy procurement in Ganjam is scheduled to begin in a few days, farmers of the district are in dire straits as most of their stock have been rendered damaged due to unseasonal rain.

Secretary of Rushikulya Rayat Mahasabha Simanchal Nahak said over 1,000 hectare of standing paddy crop in at least 11 blocks have been damaged due to untimely rain.
