JAMMU, Oct 12: Taranjit Singh Tony, Congress leader and DDC Member representing Suchetgarh, has made a fervent appeal for compensation to farmers severely impacted by a recent hailstorm that wreaked havoc on their crops across expansive agricultural areas.
In a statement issued today, Tony underscored the gravity of the situation. He personally visited multiple farms, where he witnessed extensive damage to crops caused by the relentless rains and a devastating hailstorm the previous night. He urged the district administration to promptly initiate assessments of the losses and make swift decisions to alleviate the suffering of the distressed farming community.
“The hailstorm that recently struck has resulted in substantial damage to standing crops in various villages. The affected farmers are now looking to the Government for assistance as their livelihoods are hanging by a thread. Their crops have been utterly devastated. It is imperative that the Government acts swiftly and provide appropriate compensation to every affected farmer to help them weather this crisis,” emphasized Tony.
The Congress leader’s plea resonates with the urgent need to support farmers during this agricultural crisis, as they face substantial financial losses due to the destruction of their crops. Immediate intervention is necessary to mitigate the distress and ensure the well-being of the farming community affected by this unforeseen natural calamity.
Tony’s call for compensation aligns with broader efforts to protect the interests and livelihoods of farmers in the region, who are the backbone of the nation’s agricultural sector. He said the Government’s rapid response and support are essential to help these farmers recover from the recent catastrophe and continue their crucial contributions to the country’s food supply.
