Crops destroyed due to recent rains in Bundelkhand but no official visits yet

Mastram is visiting Mathurapur village in Jhansi district in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh where a farmer Kalicharan tells him that their entire crops has destroyed in recent heavy rains. He says he has spent around Rs 90,000 on the crop and is not going to get back more than 10,000. No govt official has visited to assess the damage. If Govt remains callous like this we will see some more farmer suicides in Bundelkhand. For more Mastram is at 9755009512
