Gujarat farmers dump mangoes after damage due to Cyclone Biparjoy
The price of fair average quality mangoes has now halved to around Rs 20 per kg from Rs 40 per kg before the cyclone.

Although the King of Fruits in India is hugely in demand across the country, farmers of Gujarat out of helplessness have been forced to dump their mangoes along the borders of their orchards as the crop was damaged by Cyclone Biparjoy, which hit the coastal state a week ago.
Farmers from various districts including Rajkot, Dwarka, Kutch and others were hurt and angry as well but had no choice other than dumping as damaged crops are of no worth now.
Gusty winds, rain, and humidity are considered as main factors behind the acceleration of the rotting of mangoes.
The farmers getting rid of their damaged crops are being witnessed in Anjar, Bhuj, Mandvi, Mundra talukas and Nakhtrana, which form the main mango belt of Kutch.
As the latest state government data revealed, Kutch has horticulture crops across 57,735 hectares, out of which, mango orchards account for 10,960 hectares and the fact that mango orchards are the third biggest horticulture crop of Kutch after pomegranate 19,325 hectares and date palms 19,111 hectares, the extent of economical loss of farmers can be anticipated.
The price of fair average quality mangoes has now halved to around Rs 20 per kg from Rs 40 per kg before the cyclone.
Although the incident is very shocking, the act of farmers of allowing people to take mangoes for free and using the rotten ones for feeding their livestock shows their not-quitting-gesture towards an unprecedented natural disaster.
Meanwhile, extreme cyclone storm the enduring tropical storm Biparjoy often referred to as the 2023 Gujarat tropical cyclone, formed over the eastern Arabian Sea. Biparjoy, the second cyclonic storm and third depression of the 2023 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, formed from a depression that the India Meteorological Department (IMD) initially identified on June 6.

Lalu Yadav of old resurfaces in press conference, cracks one-liners on Rahul Gandhi, Modi | Watch
Lalu Yadav gibe at Rahul Gandhi and said Rahul did not follow his suggestion about the marriage. He should have married before but it’s never too late. Everyone presented at the conference started giggling.

RJD president Lalu Yadav attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP. Lalu said he has become physically fit now and the time has come to fit Modi since he has caused damage to the country.
Speaking to journalists after the joint opposition meeting in Patna, the Lalu of old times seemed to return. He invoked the recent Karnataka Assembly elections and said the BJP entered the electoral field there by invoking Lord Hanuman’s name to gain from his name in the election but it backfired on them.
Lord Hanuman has thrashed BJP with his mace and made Congress win the election, he regaled the media corps in his characteristic manner. The RJD boss also talked about PM Modi’s State visit to the US. PM Modi is no longer a national leader but he has come down to the level of a local leader. He is distributing “chandan” in the US, Lalu said. Once upon a time, he was not allowed entry into the US because of the 2002 Gujarat riots. His visa was canceled by the US authorities, he reminded the media.
Now, the country has been suffering from inflation and unemployment which has been the highest in 45 years but this government has been hiding behind Hindu-Muslim conflict and chanting Lord Hanuman. He further added Lord Hanuman has switched sides and joined the opposition party now.
On that basis, he said the BJP will see a big defeat in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha election. This government has been confused with the currency circulation, a few years ago they prevent a legal tender of Rs 1000 note and issued a new Rs 2000 note and again they banned it. All opposition parties have been together in this fight against BJP, the RJD chief said.
Lalu Yadav was all praise for Rahul Gandhi for his work. He has united the whole country through the Bharat Jodo Yatra and raised genuine questions in Parliament. Following his statement, Lalu Yadav joked that Rahul Gandhi did not follow his suggestion about marriage. He should have married before but it’s never too late, the RJD veteran said, much to the amusement of everyone at the press conference.
Lalu assured that there will be another meeting in July in Shimla to prepare the agenda on how to move ahead together while working in their respective states to fight BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
