Cold and fog hit life in Rajastan | Bombay News.Net
The cold weather conditions have now started to affect the standing winter or Rabi crop.

'Though we have still to get details from all over the state, preliminary reports suggest that standing crops like mustard and jeera (cumin) have been hit by extreme cold weather conditions', said an agriculture department official.

Rajasthan, with a contribution of around 40 percent, is the largest producer of mustard in the country.
