B.D.Kasniyal<\/p>\n
Pithoragarh, Nov 3<\/p>\n
Unexpected and untimely hailstorm accompanied by heavy rains in Kanalichina, Munsiyari and Nachni areas of Pithoragarh district last evening, damaged\u00a0vegetables and seasonal fruits crops of small farmers of the area worth lakhs of rupees, as the area is known as rich fruit belt of citrus fruits.<\/p>\n
“Not only the hailstones lashed the fruit and vegetables crops in lower valleys but heavy snowfall in higher reaches of Dharchula sub-division also halted the annual \u00a0winter migration of some villages,” said Shalu Datal, a villager from Dantu village of Darma valley.<\/p>\n

According to Datal, the villagers of Duktu, Dantu and Dhakar, who were set on winter migration on Tuesday, had to postpone it till\u00a0 November 6, as the heavy snowfall blocked the route to the lower valleys.”The villagers are migrating to lower valleys 15 days ahead of traditional time of migration as the snowfall this year has started from October mid this year,” said Datal.<\/p>\n
The hailstones in Munsiyari and Kanalichina blocks, not only damaged the crop fields, but even the poly houses, installed by the farmers.” Our region from Kanalichina to Mad Manley is well known as fruit and vegetables belt and it was hit badly\u00a0 by hailstones, rains, damaging lakhs of worth citrus fruits and vegetables,” said Laxman Singh, a vegetable and citrus fruit grower in Mad Manley village of the district.<\/p>\n

My three poly houses were also fully damaged by this catastrophe,” said\u00a0 Trilok singh.<\/p>\n
