DMK president M.K. Stalin on Saturday demanded relief for farmers and most people who had been affected by the ‘margazhi’ rain within the State.
In a press release in Chennai, he stated farmers must be given ₹30,000 per acre as crop harm.
“The crop was ready for harvest but was completely destroyed in the rain. It has proved to be a double whammy for farmers, who had already borne the brunt of Cyclone Nivar,” he stated.
“The failure of the AIADMK government to deslit the drains resulted in flooding,” Mr. Stalin alleged.
The DMK chief stated the federal government’s announcement that it could launch ₹20,000 per hectare had disenchanted farmers in 14 districts.
“They are angry that the amount already announced to provide relief from Cyclone Nivar has not reached them. They are also not able to get crop insurance,” he stated
Wondering what occurred to the ₹600 crore allotted for cyclone relief, Mr. Stalin needed to know in regards to the standing of the request for ₹3,758 crore sought from the BJP authorities on the Centre.
“Instead of saying that the government will take a survey of the damage, the Chief Minister should release the relief amount immediately,” he stated.
