The Tamizhaga Vivasayigal Sangam on Monday staged a demonstration in front of the Collector’s Office here demanding sanction of compensation under the crop insurance scheme for damage suffered by farmers last year. The demonstrators, led by its State vice-president R. Sukumar, who presented a representation to the district authorities, said the premium to the tune of ₹19 crore was paid towards crop insurance during 2020-21. Although several farmers suffered big losses due to heavy rain in the delta, compensation had not been sanctioned so far and demanded immediate sanction of relief to the affected lot.More Related News
