BJP State president Daggubati Purandeswari demanded that the government should extend financial assistance at the earliest and on liberal terms to the farmers who incurred losses due to cyclone Michaung.
“The loss enumeration has to be done within 48 hours so that the losses could be quantified immediately,” she said.
She insisted that soaked and discoloured paddy must be procured at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) so that the farmers would be able to recoup their losses, and steps taken to mitigate the losses suffered by horticulture farmers.
