With the standing crops, especially paddy, being damaged in several
parts of the state due to 3-4 days of rain in the past week, Haryana
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday assured farmers that a
special 'girdawri' (revenue assessment) would be conducted to assess the
damage to their crops caused by the rains.
Khattar assured the farmers that adequate compensation would be paid to them.
"They
need not worry on this account," Khattar said after visiting the
agricultural fields of a farmer in Karnal district, around 120 km from
here, on Friday.
The rainfall from September 22 to 25 damaged paddy and other seasonal crops in many parts of Haryana.
Strong winds in some parts flattened the standing crops which was almost ready for harvesting.
