Agricultural workers throughout Okhaldhunga are currently facing a busy schedule as paddy harvesting gets underway in earnest. The spike in farm activities follows immediately after the celebration of the Tihar festival, which marks a traditional transition point for seasonal agricultural labour in the region. The surge in field activities is particularly concentrated within the main paddy-growing pockets of the district. Agricultural workers in these key zones are focusing their efforts on bringing in the season's yield while weather conditions remain suitable for crop collection. Local farmers are currently spending their days cutting down the mature, yellowing stalks across the fields. Once cut, the harvested paddy is gathered and tied into bundles, preparing the grain for transport, threshing, and eventual storage.
