Yogi government is kind to farmers
Yogi government has taken many big decisions regarding farmers in the last few days, which are now being linked to the upcoming elections. Earlier, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had directed officials to go to the field and conduct surveys to compensate farmers for the damage caused to their crops due to hailstorm and rain. On Monday, District Magistrates and other administrative officers of various districts of the state were seen in action.
The officials contacted the farmers since the morning and reached the fields and took stock of the damage to the crops, then submitted the survey report to the relief department. Survey work is going on continuously in all the districts of the state. Along with this, the process of surveying the loss of life and loss of animals due to lightning is also going on and giving compensation.
Principal Secretary Revenue P. Guru Prasad said that on the instructions of the CM, the survey of damage caused to all crops due to hailstorm and heavy rain will be completed almost by Monday evening. Special regional camps will be organized for the left out farmers. Information related to its data will be uploaded on the relief portal. So that compensation amount can be sent to the account of food donors within 24 hours.
