Farmers thronged internet centres in Srikakulam district to know about the loan waiver details posted in the AP government website. The State government announced that the farmers and others who took below Rs.50, 000 loans will be eligible for loan waiver schemes. Though majority of farmers were in jubilant mood with the government’s decision, some of them could not get any benefits due to various reasons and wrong calculation of their loan amount.
However, they are expected to get reprieve during Rythu Sadhikara Sadassulu which began officially on Wednesday. Collector Gaurav Uppal reviewed the loan waiver scheme on Wednesday and asked the officials to make arrangements for the meetings in every village.
