Hopes flattened with crop, 3 Rewari farmers die of heart attack
Posted by Anil Kath On 12:09 PM No comments
CHANDIGARH: Almost 100% loss to their wheat crop due to recent rains and hailstorms has led to the death of three, including a woman, due to heart attack in past three days in Darauli village of Rewari district. Two farmers died on Monday, while 55 year-old Dharampal had passed away on Saturday.
Anita, 42, died after she went to her fields to harvest whatever had remained of the crop. She did not find any grains in the wheat sown in four acres of land. The crop had been flattened by rain, winds and hailstorms. The family owned just two acres of land while the remaining two acres was hired for sowing.
According to Anita's son Jogender Kumar, 21, the family was under a debt of Rs 6.5 lakh, out of which Rs 2 lakh was taken from a nationalized bank. "We had even sold two acres of land for relief from the debt in 2014," he said. But the family's debt again went up following his the expenditure on his marriage. The family's younger daughter's marriage was scheduled for November which had put more pressure on them.
Damage to crops had dashed the hopes of family of getting any relief from the debt. "My mother could not bear the loss to the crops," said Kumar.
Another 80-year-old farmer Shri Chand also died on Monday after suffering a heart attack when he saw the total destruction on his fields. Sources said that he was also under debt. Even Dharam Pal is also said to have died of the heart attack on account of crop loss due to inclement weather.
Jatusana station house officer Narender Singh confirmed that the families concerned had told the police that the three died due to shock when then saw their damaged crops.
Kosli sub-divisional magistrate Nirmal Nagar told the TOI that the farmers of the village were not in a position to bear loses to their crops. After getting information about the repeated deaths in the village, Nagar along with revenue officials on Monday visited Darauli and conducted the girdawari (assessment) to know the exact loss to crops. "The damage to the crops is almost 100%," Nagar confirmed.
"We have recommended to the divisional commissioner that the loan of the affected farmers from the village be waived off. We have also urged the government to provide monetary help to the affected families under existing schemes of the government," the SDM added.

Rewari news!, Read why the district administration sought NOC Railways?
Posted by Anil Kath On 12:18 PM No commentsरेवाड़ी वालों के लिए खुशखबरी!,पढ़िए रेलवे ने क्यों जिला प्रशासन से मांगी एनओसी?
#गुड़गांव #हरियाणा रेवाड़ी रेलवे स्टेशन के पास बने डबल फाटक के आस-पास रहने वाले लोगों के लिए अच्छी खबर है. दरअसल, वर्षों से अंडरपास बनाए जाने की मांग को लेकर रेल प्रशासन अब नींद से जाग चुका है. रेलवे ने जिला प्रशासन से अंडरपास बनाए जाने हेतु एनओसी की मांग की है.
रेलवे के मुताबिक डबल फाटक पर बनाए जाने वाले इस अंडरपास के निर्माण में जो भी खर्च आएगा उसका आधा हिस्सा राज्य सरकार देगी, जबकि आधा भुगतान रेलवे खुद करेगा. आपको बता दें कि जहां अंडरपास बनना है इसके आस-पास करीब 12 कॉलोनियों के लोग फाटक बंद रहने की समस्या से परेशान रहते हैं.
अंडरपास बन जाने से लोगों को काफी राहत मिलेगी, क्योंकि फाटक काफी देर तक बंद रहता है. आलम यह रहता है कि लोग अपनी जान को जोखिम में डालकर यहां से आते-जाते हैं. लोगों ने इस फाटक पर अडंरपास बनाए जाने के लिए लंबा संघर्ष किया है. अब उम्मीद कि जल्द ही अंडरपास बनाए जाने का काम शुरू किया जाएगा और उन्हें इस समस्या से निजात मिल सकेगी.

Crop damage: Union ministers assure maximum possible relief to Rewari Haryana
Posted by Anil Kath On 12:14 PM No comments
Union minister for consumer affairs, food and public distribution Ram Vilas Paswan and union minister of state for agriculture Sanjeev Kumar Balyan on Tuesday assured the Haryana government of maximum possible relief to farmers whose rabi crops had been damaged by recent rains and hailstorm.
Briefing newspersons after holding a meeting with Haryana chief minister ML Khattar, agriculture minister OP Dhankar and senior department officials here, both the union ministers also assured that they would also take up other demands of the state government, including the interim relief of about `1135 crore and relaxation in the quality norms of the damaged crops, mainly wheat, with the Union agriculture minister Radha Mohan Singh as well as in the Cabinet meeting. They said they were scheduled to visit various affected areas of Haryana later in the day.
To the question of implementation of Swaminathan commission recommendations, especially enhancing the minimum support prices (MSPs) for crops, Balyan said that the Union government had decided to implement the same in phased manner. The government was clear about lifting the entire stock as well as giving the best possible relief to the farmers, he added.
Paswan also said that Khattar had also sought `100 bonus per quintal over and above the MSP of wheat, relaxation in standard quality norms for wheat procurement in current Rabi season and special central assistance of `1136 crore to compensate the loss to crops which would be taken up in the Cabinet. Khattar had also sought `10,000 per acre for the completely destroyed crops, he said.
Describing the BJP government at the Centre and state as pro-farmer and pro-poor, Paswan said that a false propaganda was created against the BJP government, but the main aim of the government was to ensure the welfare of farmers, the poor and down-trodden.
In reply to another question, he said that Central teams were visiting all the states where the crop had been damaged due to flood, rain or hailstorm and not only ones run by the BJP-government.

Khattar, who also replied to questions of mediapersons, said that `1136 crore relief had been sought for the crop which had been damaged till March 22, and as the rains had continued thereafter as well, the state might need more relief.
He said that compensation should also be calculated in the slabs of 0-10%, 11 to 25%, 26 to 50%, 51 to 75% and 76 to 100%. At present, the Central government did not give compensation on crop loss upto 50%.
On the special girdawari, he said the final report, which was to come by March 31, would now be received by April 7.
Khattar made it clear that state government would compensate each farmer within a month after getting the final report of girdawari.
