Kalbaisakhi storms Ravage Banana Crops Worth Lakhs in Nayagarh

Kalbaisakhi storms caused extensive damage to banana plantations in Nayagarh, Odisha, leaving farmers with losses worth lakhs and raising demands for government assistance.

Published by Dibyajyoti | March 30, 2026

Severe Kalbaisakhi storms lashed parts of Nayagarh on Sunday, causing widespread destruction to banana plantations, particularly in the Ranapur area.

The sudden nor’wester flattened hundreds of banana trees that were close to harvest, resulting in heavy financial losses for farmers. Many cultivators, who had invested heavily in the crop, are now facing uncertainty over their livelihoods.

One such farmer, Suryakant Mohapatra from Surkabadi village, reported losses of around ₹7–8 lakh after strong winds destroyed his five-acre plantation. Having taken loans for cultivation, he now faces significant financial distress.

The incident has sparked concerns among local farmers, who are urging the government to provide immediate financial relief and support to help them recover from the losses.

With the onset of the storm season, the damage highlights the vulnerability of farmers to sudden weather events and the need for timely intervention and crop protection measures.
