Owing to floods and incessant rains in northern India's Haryana, crops have been badly affected due to which the prices of the vegetables have gone up.

Though the floods have receded in some parts of the area but large swathes of crops have been washed away.

The wholesale rate for tomato has gone as high as Rs 40/kg, while the retail rate in some markets has reached Rs 60/kg.

"Due to incessant rain and floods the production of tomatoes has been damaged in Haryana, Panipat and Kurukshetra," said Ram Pal Mittan, District Horticulture Officer (DHO).

Vegetable vendors are worried about the aftermath of the floods, as it has damaged a lot of crops in northern India.

"Floods have damaged a lot in Panipat, Yamunanagar and even in Karnal. Homes are filled with water; people are facing so many problems. Properties of poor people have been washed away as these places are comparatively lower," said Sri Ram, vegetable vendor in the wholesale market.

The petroleum price hike has added to the consumers' and distributors' agony as transporters bringing in vegetables from other states, have increased their fares, affecting the cost of the veggies in turn.

Floods have completely inundated several villages, compelling locals to leave behind their belongings and take refuge in temporary shelters.

The monsoon this year has caused heavy floods in several parts of India like Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh in the north and central Madhya Pradesh states, causing heavy devastation to life and property.
