Agriculture has also suffered significant losses. Paddy fields, vegetable crops, banana plantations, black pepper vines, arecanut gardens, cashew grafts and other horticultural crops have been damaged due to continuous rain, waterlogging and strong winds.
In several low-lying areas, standing crops remain submerged, while plantations have suffered damage from uprooted trees.
The Valpoi Agriculture Office has appealed to farmers to report crop losses without delay and submit applications for compensation.
Agriculture officials will carry out field inspections before forwarding detailed assessment reports to the government to facilitate financial assistance.
