“The Haryana government is committed to protecting the interests of the farmers and ensuring their welfare. Every possible effort will be made to safeguard the interest of the farmers,” an official release quoted Khattar as saying.
The chief minister said directions have been given to the deputy commissioners to carry out special ‘girdawari’ (crop loss assessment).
The DCs have been further directed to complete this special ‘girdawari’ work by April 15 so that compensation can be transferred to the accounts of the affected farmers by May.
