The continuous rain in Madhesh for the past two days has brought joy to the faces of the residents here. The rain has reduced the heat of the summer. The fields where the rice fields are torn are starting to fill with water. Farmers who have not been able to plant have started plowing the fields for planting.

13 milliliters of rain has been recorded on Sunday in the rain measuring instrument of Agricultural Implements Research Center Ranighat Birganj . Sachin Kumar Mishra, head of the center has informed that there was a record rainfall on Saturday.

Asarfi Sah, former president of Kisan Sangh Parsa, says that if it rains regularly for a few more days, the problem of drought will disappear and all the farmers who have not been able to plant will also plant . He said, ``Drought will be eradicated if it rains regularly,'' he said, ``Farmers who have yet to plant due to the fullness of sky farming will rush to plant.'' He said that if there is heavy rain even for one day, both the problems of planting and drought of the farmers in the district will be solved.

Although he is relieved by the current normal rains, it is his understanding that planting is not possible as there is no rain suitable for planting. He said that the farmers who have finished planting will be relieved from the ongoing harvest.

By Friday, 85 percent of the planting has been done in the district, he said. He said that only a few farmers in Birganj Mahanagar, Bindwasini Rural Municipality, Bahudarmai Municipality, Chhipharmai Rural Municipality have yet to plant. Planting in other municipalities is almost over.
