Agricultural producers across Siraha district are suffering significant setbacks after unseasonal heavy rain damaged their flower fields. The crop destruction occurred just as growers were preparing to harvest and deliver their produce to market ahead of the upcoming Tihar and Chhath celebrations. Farmers in the region had expanded flower cultivation to meet the traditional surge in commercial demand during the major festive period. Continuous rainfall over recent days saturated the fields, destroying blooms ready for picking and disrupting supply plans for local traders. The unexpected agricultural damage has left local growers deeply distressed over anticipated financial losses. The damaged harvests mean producers will be unable to capitalize on the peak sales period usually driven by the Tihar and Chhath cultural observances.
