A prolonged dry spell has hit the growth of orange and kinnow crops in the Nurpur and Indora subdivisions of Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh. The belt, also known as "mini-Nagpur" for producing citrus fruits like kinnow, orange, malta, galgal and lemon, is yet to receive winter showers. Fruit growers are fearing extensive financial losses if it doesn't rain in the next fortnight.
