300 bighas of fields have been inundated due to the Mahlisagar dam built by India in the border area. While the rains of the third week of June gradually flooded the fields, the heavy rains of the last week made it impossible to plant rice.

Yashodhara Rural Municipality-5 Bhagwanpur Lohrauli and Bhaiishahia farmers' fields prepared for planting more than 300 bighas of paddy have been flooded .

In Mahlisagar Dam (the gate has yet to be put) built by India, water has been cut off by placing thick salar bars of one meter wide and one and a half meters long . The dam has 15 gates . As the water cannot be drained, the fields in Nepal are flooded. When the flow of water increased towards Nepal, the embankment made temporarily by the locals to protect the fields collapsed and the fields towards the village were also submerged.

Farmers are under stress after the fields were flooded while they were preparing to plant. Mohammad Sabir Shah of Bhagwanpur said, "All and 6 varieties of seeds were grown and ready to be harvested. Now the seeds have started to sprout." 12 bigha fields are submerged in water up to the waist . The mind of what to do has stopped working.

He said that the bad prepared by borrowing 7,000 rupees is becoming a puzzle. He said, "How can we manage a family of 14 people if we are not able to plant?" He said, "Hunger has stopped." Water is being added day by day to the fields that have been submerged for two weeks . He said that the life of the farmer who sows mano and cultivates salted oil will be difficult.

The dam is 200 meters from the border area. Under Construction in Mahli Village under Shoharatgarh Police Station, Siddharthnagar District, India. The 15 Dhoke Dam that India has been planning to build since 2009 has not been completed due to opposition from the Nepali side. Nepal's paddy crop has been flooded after the water was diverted by temporarily putting wood in the dam. There are 15 gates left to keep the gates in the dam. The place where the door is kept is covered with bark. Patra has done the door work . A 25-meter walkway (road) has also been made by placing one and a half meter wide sal wood to walk over the dam. The embankment adjacent to the dam has also been strengthened by adding bags and soil.

Farmer Ghanshyam Yadav said that it does not seem like there will be cultivation this year due to flooding. "The grown rice seeds started dying in the bed," he said, "the second time the seeds cannot be kept". He said that 52 families of the village could not plant crops.

More than one and a half hundred farmers of Bhagwanpur, Lauhrauli and Bhaisahia have been badly affected by flooding. "There is flooding within 5/6 hours of heavy rain," Mohammad Ayub said, "Even if there is no rain, there is no rice. When there is no rain to keep the seeds, you have to sit looking at the sky. If it rains too much, the house is flooded and damaged. The

dam will affect the villages of Bhagwanpur, Kacharihaba, Rangpur, Bhaisahia, Lohrauli and Parsohia of Yashodhara Rural Municipality of Nepal. Nepali officials say that more than 300 hectares of Nepalese land will be flooded by the dam. Due to the

dam, Nepal-India border posts number 553 and 554 in that area also get flooded during rains. We work day and night to cultivate. There is no laughing or crying when the flood destroys the hard work of months,' said local Ramesh Yadav, 'therefore, the life of the village, which has a majority of poor people, is becoming more difficult.' Local Santaram Kewat says it has been 21 years. Even though leaders and high-ranking officials are always reaching the administration office to draw attention to solve the problem when they visit India, the locals complain that they have not been heard yet. Yashodhara Rural Municipality Chairman Shivdayal Tiwari said that since

is a matter between two countries, a solution should be sought from the top level.
