Farmers' Peace Stripped Away Along With Crops In Assam Floods | Read
25-year-old Bashit Ali is selling his last stock of jute at half the price. His new produce has been washed away by the twin waves of floods in Assam. Bashit, a sixth generation cultivator, has only half a tonne to sell at the Bahri weekly market, around 100 km from Guwahati. "I am under huge debt. I was not getting enough value for my previous produce because the prices had fallen and now that is also over. My new produce is washed away and the government hardly helps" Bashit tells NDTV.
