That’s how many villages in UP are affected by the floods. News like this always seemed distant when we lived in the city. We are the last village before Mirzapur, which is the worst hit. It’s been raining everywhere (except in Banaras), and I suppose we were just too busy too notice.
The rice crops are gone, and so are the monsoon vegetables. Some farmers were on the verge of harvesting crops like karela, but now they will rot. We will lose almost all of the 500+ trees we planted.
