The relief department has also issued an alert due to bad weather.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday directed the officials to conduct immediate survey to assess the damage caused by heavy rains and hailstorms. According to PTI news, the survey, which started late Wednesday night, is to accelerate the process of compensation to the affected farmers. CM Adityanath has directed all District Magistrates, SDMs and Tehsildars to visit the affected areas immediately and conduct a detailed survey, which should be handed over to the concerned department within 24 hours.
Instructions came after bad weather
According to the news, he emphasized that strict action will be taken against the officials responsible for any negligence in the compensation process. This instruction came after a sudden weather deteriorating on the night of 9 April, causing storms, hailstorms and lightning in various regions of the state. After the survey, the revenue department will provide compensation for crop loss in collaboration with insurance companies. The relief department has also issued an alert due to bad weather and has advised people to stay indoors.
Instructions to upload the report on the department’s portal soon
On the instructions of Adityanath, Relief Commissioner Bhanu Chandra Goswami has directed all the district officials to upload the survey report on the portal of the department soon. Farmers whose crops have suffered more than 33 percent loss will be compensated. According to the news, morning rains gave relief from heat in some areas but crops were damaged in some areas. This year, despite good yield of wheat, unseasonal rains have disappointed farmers. In many areas, heavy rains and storms of the farmer have been destroyed by heavy rains and storms.
