Taking government servants to task for their incompetency in quickly attending to public grievances, Revenue Minister Krishna Byregowda has said that innocent farmers will have to bear the brunt of official lethargy.
“Survey for assessing crop loss in drought has been completed in the district. However, you have not clearly mentioned the complete information on the full landholdings of farmers in 33% of cases. What prevented you from giving complete information even after clear directions from the government? Such lethargy will lead to injustice to farmers. Farmers will get better compensation when you furnish complete information,” Mr. Byregowda said at a meeting of officers of his department in Ballari on Tuesday.
He also directed the officers to go back to villages and meet farmers to furnish the complete information.
