Usually, men in the district especially in north including the youths use to take beer during this time of rice harvesting as they have enough cash.
A lot of marriages are also affected during this time as men start ignoring or respecting their wives.
Meanwhile, the police have asked residents especially men to drink beer responsibly.
Some traditional leaders have also appealed to their subjects to stop over selling their rice harvest because of the hunger situation.
It is estimated that the district will harvest a lot of rice this year because of the floods that hit most of the areas.
Currently, a 50Kg of rice is sold at K27, 000 and is expected to rise anytime next month due to the high demand.
