Former Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader T. Harish Rao has demanded that the State government sanction compensation/input subsidy to a large number of farmers who have suffered crop damage/loss in the hails, gales and untimely rain in parts of Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karmareddy, Karimnagar, Rajanna-Sircilla, Medak, Siddipet, Rangareddy and other districts for the last couple of days.
He stated that the crop damage/loss has occurred right before the harvesting time leaving the farmers who raised crops such as paddy, maize and others in deep distress. Horticultural crops such as mango, papaya and others have also been damaged badly. But, the Congress government is not responding to the calamity.
