A Central team comprising Kolatkar and Srivastav accompanied by State government officers visited Bhupalpalli mandal to interact with the farmers who lost crops due to hailstorms in last April here on Tuesday.
The members said the State government had recorded all the details of crop loss and they were here to interact with the farmers and to know their plight.
Mr. Kolatkar held a meeting with farmers and officials at the district headquarters where he promised to ensure early compensation to all the deserving farmers.
He said they would submit the report to Centre at the earliest. Some farmers apprised him that they were expecting 35 to 40 bags of paddy and after the hailstorm they could only harvest four to eight bags.
