Those who lost crops in recent rain will get compensation
The Puducherry government proposes to extend financial assistance to the tune of ₹3.11 crore to farmers who suffered losses in the 2020 cyclone, Agriculture Minister C. Djeacoumar informed the Assembly on Friday. Replying to the discussion on the demand for grants, he said the government had given in-principle approval to the proposal to give the aid from the National Disaster Response Fund. The money would be credited to the bank accounts of the farmers. Farmers whose paddy and plantain crops were damaged in the recent rain would be given adequate compensation. Mr. Djeacoumar said a financial package would be worked out for the revival of the Puducherry Agro Service and Industries Corporation Limited. A zoological garden was proposed in Puducherry.More Related News
