My uncle's farm in Junagadh district has been completely destroyed. The timing couldn't be worse - just before harvest. Hope the government's survey is thorough and compensation reaches all affected farmers without bureaucratic delays.

While I appreciate the CM's visit, I hope this isn't just for photo opportunities. Farmers need concrete support - timely compensation, crop insurance payouts, and long-term solutions for climate-resilient agriculture. Actions speak louder than words.

The weather patterns are becoming increasingly unpredictable. Beyond immediate relief, we need better forecasting systems and climate-resilient crop varieties. Hope the government invests in long-term solutions too.
