The Farmers' Union has requested the government to provide relief to the sesame crops affected by the rains. Agriculture officials visited the affected area last year and did not provide any relief. Sesame crops have been damaged in various villages including Varadharasanpet, Kuruvappanpet and Melapudupet in Kurinjipadi North and South. The impact is widespread across the district. Therefore, agriculture officials should visit the fields and provide appropriate relief for the farmers.
