Among the list of sectors that suffered massive loss in Raigad district due to Cyclone Nisarga are veterinary clinics and livestock business. The immediate help required to restore the damage has highlighted the need for manpower that has been missing for almost two years.
Dr Subhas Mhaske, deputy director, Animal Husbandry Department, Raigad district, said, "The cyclonic storm damaged 15 veterinary clinics located in different talukas of the district. Most of the damages were caused due to falling of tree branches on the roofs. Besides, we also lost some medicines and equipment. The loss to just our structure is estimated around R2 crore. However, the Public Works Department would handle the repairs."
