Shillong: A brutal hailstorm tore through Langniuh and nearby villages on Sunday afternoon. The weather system battered the Mairang C&RD Block in Eastern West Khasi Hills for nearly an hour. The ice and rain flattened standing paddy crops just weeks before the harvest. Months of hard labor vanished in an instant.
Farming families now face total ruin. The destruction creates deep fear regarding looming financial losses. Local farmers are calling on the state government to act fast. They want officials on the ground to survey the wreckage immediately and provide payout funds. As the farmers noted, "timely intervention is crucial to help them recover from the losses caused by the severe weather."
