The central region, including the delta districts, continued to receive widespread rainfall on Thursday after a moderate to heavy overnight rain spells.
Several parts of Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Mayiladuthurai and Nagapattinam received heavy showers inundating more paddy fields, adding to the woes of harried farmers. With more rainfall predicted, farmers are keeping their fingers crossed on the fate of their inundated crops. Unless the water drains quickly, the farmers may not be able to save the samba/thaladi paddy crop in the freshly inundated fields.
