Prayagraj, March 20 – Light rainfall was recorded in Prayagraj and several districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh on Thursday morning, leaving farmers worried about potential crop damage. The overcast sky and unexpected showers at this time of the season have raised concerns among the agricultural community.
The Meteorological Department had already predicted light rain in parts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, including Prayagraj.
