Monsoon Mayhem: Ellenabad Farmers Demand Hefty Crop Loss Compensation
Sirsa district has launched a special survey to assess crop damage following torrential rains in Ellenabad. The survey will determine the compensation payable to affected farmers.
MLA Abhay Singh Chautala has demanded a substantial Rs 60,000 per acre compensation for the losses suffered. He sharply criticized the state government’s alleged negligence in maintaining drainage systems, contributing to the widespread flooding.
Independent MLA, Ranjit Singh Beniwal, has also advocated for farmer relief, suggesting a compensation of Rs 30,000-35,000 per acre.
The scale of compensation will directly impact thousands of farmers in the region, highlighting the urgent need for effective disaster management and robust support systems for the agricultural community in Haryana. The coming weeks will be crucial as the government assesses the damage and finalizes the relief package.
