Summary:
State officials are worried about kharif crop sowing failing in six districts of Kutch, Morbi, Porbandar, Rajkot, Jamnagar and Ahmedabad, if it doesn't rain in about a week. Atul Shekhda, president of Khedut Hitrakshak Samiti in Junagadh district said that farmers started sowing after Vayu cyclone in Saurashtra. But since then, owing to inadequate rains, crops did not get regular irrigation. Farmers are being told to irrigate their farms as rains are delayed, but there is no water," Shekhda told DNA. Major problem is likely in Saurashtra, while rains are good in south Gujarat and central Gujarat has canal irrigation..
