As in previous years, while farmers are working, others are having fun in the fields on the day of Ropain Jatra, splashing muddy water on each other, taking pictures, et al. But a vital part of the Day’s celebration is missing this time. Last year, then Agriculture Minister Hari Parajuli came under fire and had to lose his job for resorting to indecent behaviour in paddy fields, on this day.It’s Paddy Day in Nepal and farmers are busy transplanting paddy, hoping the yield will go up this time around, thanks to abundant rainfall.
