CPI for enhancement of crop loss compensation

HYDERABAD: The Communist Party of India State council has urged the State Government to provide compensation of Rs. 10,000 an acre to farmers who lost their paddy as well as commercial crops in the areas affected by the recent flood in Krishna river. The CPI said the method adopted for providing compensation was “unscientific” in that crops with lower input costs were being paid higher compensation while lower compensation was being paid to investment intensive crops. The Government should initiate steps to ensure that compensation and other benefits reached the tenant farmers who suffered major losses directly.

A CPI delegation led by the party’s State secretary K. Narayana called on Chief Minister K. Rosaiah here on Saturday and submitted a memorandum urging the Government to include de-silting of the agriculture lands where huge amounts of sand had been deposited due to the recent flood in the National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme as the farmers as well as farm labour would be benefited by it.
