Collectors not interested in distributing compensation
ApnaBundelkhand.com, Bhopal: Farmers of the State have come out on the streets in support of their
demand of compensation for crops damaged by hailstorm and rains but
collectors of the districts have turned a deaf ear to it. This problem
is more pronounced in Bundelkhand region where crops have been damaged
heavily recently due to hailstorm and rains. Farmers of Damoh and
Panna districts are shedding tears due to damage to crops due to
hailstorm and rains but collectors of these districts have not done
assessment of the damage to crops nor they have sent any proposal to
government to give compensation to farmers. Seeing heavy damage to crops
in Tikamgarh district here the administration got the assessment of
damage to crops done and demanded Rs 4 crore from government as relief. Revenue
Department has sanctioned this amount. Sagar district has demanded Rs
25 lakh for this. Besides these areas in Harda district Rs 60 lakh have
been demanded for farmers while for Guna district Rs 6.44 lakh have been
demanded. According to sources of Revenue Department many districts
have not sent information of damage done to crops due to hailstorm.
Collectors have neither done assessment of the damage nor sent report
nor they have demanded any relief. In the last week of January crops
were damaged at many places in State due to hailstorm but at that time
also its assessment in districts was not done. Similarly in recent
hailstorm local administration has not shown any interest. Owing to the
apathy of collectors in many districts affected farmers are not getting
any relief.
