Unseasonal rain hits paddy and vegetables around Lucknow
Rain over the previous two days, combined with strong winds, affected the capital and surrounding rural blocks. Hindustan reported on 25 September 2026 that early paddy was lodging, with farmers in Nigoh, Malihabad, Itounja, Nagaram and Gosainganj reporting bent crops and waterlogging. Fungal disease was spreading in paddy in Malihabad's Bandakheda while pesticide spraying was stalled due to lack of sun. Vegetable growers said cauliflower nurseries were being protected with tarpaulin and crops such as tomato, eggplant, palak, mooli, bhindi and chilli faced root rot risk. The weather department had flagged a likelihood of further heavy rain on Saturday 26 September, increasing the challenge to save the standing crop. Farmers in Bhagwanpur, Itounja and Sarojininagar sought an immediate survey and compensation, though official compensation figures were not yet available at the time of reporting. लगातार बारिश से खेतों में लोटा धान, सब्जी की सफलों को भी नुकसान की आशंका
