According to the District Agricultural Development Office, about 70 percent of paddy planting has been done in Mugu till June 15.

The head of the office, Chandra Bahadur Shahi, said that the farmers of Mugu's Khatyad, Soru and Chayannath Rara municipalities started planting paddy from the second week of May last.

According to him, the planting of paddy has been completed in the settlements with water facilities such as canal irrigation canals, but now only the planting is left in the places that depend on sky water. Paddy planting should have been completed by June 20, but it has been delayed due to the effects of drought.

The District Agricultural Development Office has informed that the delay in rice planting will reduce the production. Compared to last year, this time due to drought, it has become difficult for the farmers to plant when the source of water in the springs is reduced.

2 thousand 48 metric tons of rice has been produced in 9 thousand 31 out of 10 thousand 461 hectares of total cultivated land in Mugu.
