Urging the farmers not to worry about compensation for their crops damaged due to the adverse weather conditions, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday ordered a special 'girdawari' to assess crop loss in the State. Farmers will be given complete compensation for the loss of their crop, he added.
The Chief Minister was interacting with the media persons after attending the special screening of Swaraj: Bharat Ke Swatantrata Sangram Ki Samagra Gatha in Panchkula.
Responding to a question regarding the strike of Arhtiyas, the Chief Minister said that the strike has been called off and some of their demands have been accepted. Besides this, the state government has written a letter to the Central Government regarding other demands like increasing their commission, he added.
Standing paddy crop in hundreds of acres in the State has been damaged due to untimely rains last week, revenue and agriculture officials said on Tuesday. Agriculture Department officials said the losses could run into hundreds of crores, though the exact damage would be known only after assessment by revenue officials across the state. There were also reports of damage to the paddy crop in Punjab.
