Mr Sharma conducted two days tour of Nowshera and Sunderbani and took stock of the loss suffered by the farmers of the area. He said that the wheat and vegetable crops have been completely damaged due to un-seasonal rains and hailstorm. The Cocoon reerers has also suffered loss, as the silk worms have died prematurely. But it was unfortunate that no assessment has been done and the Govt. has failed to announce relief package. There is great resentment amongst the people over the indifferent attitude of the Govt. and the authorities, so far.
