Rao later demanded the state government to provide financial relief of Rs 50,000 per acre to the distressed farmers to bail them out of the crisis. “Wheat and mustard crops have suffered extensive damage due to hailstorm. I will soon meet Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in this respect,” he added.

The Congress leader visited Malahera, Dhakia, Khatavali, Rozka, Jeetpura, Titarpur, Khaliyawas and Meerpur villages.
