Govt should make arrangements for drainage and proper compensation to farmers: Hooda

Published on: 

Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday demanded an immediate solution to the problem of water logging in the fields of the State. Hooda alleged that farmers in many areas of the state including Kaithal, Hisar, Bhiwani, Ambala, Sirsa, Rohtak, Jind, Sonipat, Kurukshetra, Karnal and Fatehabad have been hit by the problem of water logging. “Thousands of acres of farmers' crops have been submerged. Due to the rains of the last few days, thousands of acres of paddy, cotton and jowar crops have been badly damaged. Heavy rain is forecast in the coming days. In such a situation, farmers fear that this problem may amplify in the coming days,” Hooda added. Hooda said that the government should immediately get the Girdawari done and give compensation to the farmers and said proper drainage should be arranged at the earliest so that farmers can be saved from further losses.
