Haryana Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana

Haryana Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana has urged farmers to report crop losses through available government portals to ensure timely compensation.

"For the convenience of farmers in Haryana, a system has been put in place to report crop damage through the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) and the Haryana Compensation Portal," he said in a statement.

He informed that farmers registered under the PMFBY could report their crop damage to the nearest agriculture officer, or by calling the toll-free number 14447 within 72 hours.

The farmers not enrolled in the crop insurance scheme can register their losses on the Haryana Compensation Portal, but they must first be registered on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
