Government Will Provide All Support to Farmers: KTR

Rajanna-Sircilla: IT Minister KT Rama Rao said the State government would provide all support and assistance to the farmers who lost their crops.

The Minister examined damaged paddy in fields in Guntapalli Cheruvu Thanda of Yellareddypet Mandal and Veernapalli besides visiting the paddy procurement center in Gopalapalli of Mustabad mandal on Tuesday.

Interacting with the farmers who were in tears, the minister comforted them promising that the State government was with them and that the government was committed to providing all assistance to affected farmers. Asking them to be brave, he also requested the farming community not to lose hope.

Apart from the harvested crop that was damaged while being stored in procurement centers, the standing crop that was damaged in the fields too would be purchased by the State government, he said, adding that farmers with Lavani patta would also be paid compensation.

Nobody was responsible for the present situation since the crops were damaged due to the untimely rains. The State government was providing adequate water, power, fertilizers, and other facilities to farmers, but it was not possible for anybody to prevent rain.

The highest compensation in the country would be provided to affected farmers, he said.
