While the district administrations in the central region heaved a sigh of relief on Thursday due to the let-up in rainfall, submergence of samba paddy crop raised on hundreds of acres in delta districts including Thanjavur, Nagapattinam and Tiruvarur districts has left farmers worried.
Except for a few areas in Thanjavur, Mayiladuthurai and Nagapattinam districts, there was no rain in other areas since Wednesday afternoon. There were signs of rainwater receding in inundated areas with waist deep stagnation. Water in submerged paddy fields too began receding. But, the crop raised in large areas had remained under water for more than three days.
