Sameer SinghTribune News ServiceBathinda, July 21As incessant rain inundated the fields for days and damaged the cotton crop in Burj Mehma village, a farmer from the village has uprooted the damaged cotton crop and has sown basmati on his fields. But little did he know that incessant rain would submerge his fields and damage the crop. This year, his entire cotton crop has been destroyed by the rain. So, I decided to uproot the damaged cotton crop and sow basmati as climatic conditions are conducive for it now. Though farmers in some villages managed to drain out the rainwater from their fields, many of the villages are still inundated..
