General Advisory

  • Farmers are strictly advised to immediately suspend all field operations, including sowing, transplanting, and harvesting, due to the high risk of extremely heavy rainfall and lightning. Ensure that drainage channels are kept completely open and clear to prevent prolonged waterlogging in crop fields. Keep all farm animals and poultry securely sheltered indoors, and avoid taking livestock out for grazing or tethering them near water bodies and trees until the weather clears.
