Chief Minister Took Stock of Hailstorm Affected Crops in Village Bajawan
Bhopal 14 January 2022: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that farmers affected by unseasonal rains and hailstorms will be helped to overcome the crisis in this hour of trouble. The relief amount and insurance amount for the damage caused to the crops will be paid to the farmers soon. Chief Minister Chouhan was inspecting the affected crops in village Bajawan of tehsil Mungaoli of Ashoknagar district on Friday.
While interacting with the farmers, Chief Minister Chouhan said that in this hour of crisis, I have come to village Bajawan to join in the sufferings of the farmers. I know very well the plight of the farmers. The farmer irrigates the crops with his sweat, only then we get a grain of food. Meanwhile, if the natural calamity wreaks havoc on the crops, then the crops get ruined. This shatters the dreams of the farmers. Chief Minister Chouhan said that the damage caused to the crops would be compensated by providing relief and insurance amount. He directed the commissioner and collector that the work of survey of crop damage should be completed by January 18. Survey work should be done with complete honesty and transparency. After the survey, the list should be put up in the panchayats, so that the farmers concerned can also become aware. If anyone has any objection, it can be resolved. Chief Minister Chouhan said that those farmers who have suffered more than 50 percent loss, relief amount of Rs. 30 thousand per hectare would be provided to them. Also, in crop insurance, if crops have been damaged, 25 percent advance amount and the remaining 75 percent amount will be given after crop assessment. He said that I myself went to the fields and took stock of the crop damage.
Took stock of Hazarilal's wheat crop
Chief Minister Chouhan inspected the wheat crop in the field of farmer Hazarilal. Farmer Hazarilal told that the crop has suffered a lot due to hailstorm. "Also, my daughter's wedding has been fixed for next month. I am very distressed." On this, Chief Minister Chouhan, while comforting the aggrieved farmer, said that if there is a marriage of the daughter, we will make arrangements for that too, so that there is no problem in the daughter's marriage. Don't worry about it at all.
Rajkumari Bai consoled
Chief Minister Chouhan reached the farm of farmer Rajkumari Bai and took stock of the damage caused to the mustard crop. The Chief Minister assured farmer Rajkumari Bai who was saddened by the loss of crops and comforted her that the damage caused would be compensated.
Chief Minister Chouhan asked the villagers to get everyone vaccinated in the village and wear masks in view of the crisis of third wave of Covid-19. The third wave of Covid has arrived, we all need to take preventive measures and precautions. All the villagers should follow the Covid friendly behaviour and guideline.
