About 2 percent is yet to be planted. However, despite the planting, after the beginning of July, it did not rain and the rice planted in the southern region started drying up.
"There is still no problem in the northern region, but the rice planted in Marchwari, Kothimai, Sammarimai and other areas of the southern region has started to dry," he said.
