Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday said the State is carrying out an extensive survey of losses sustained by farmers due to unseasonal rain and within a month compensation would be paid to all the affected farmers.
Speaking at a Meet the Press programme organised by Chandigarh Press Club, he said for any natural calamity, the compensation is decided by the Centre.
He said while the Centre would be paying Rs 4,800 per acre for 100 per cent loss, Haryana would be paying Rs 5,000 per acre for 25-50 per cent loss; Rs 7,500 per acre for 50-75 per cent; and Rs 10,000 per acre for 75-100 per cent loss.
The former Haryana Chief Minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, has criticised the Manohar Lal Khattar government for ‘not doing enough’ for farmers.
