Demanding adequate crop insurance, several affected farmers of Tamiaan, Phatamunda and Deolgaon gram panchayats of Patnagarh block led by Samajwadi Party Balangir unit president Arun Mishra on Tuesday took out a rally through Balangir town and submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister of Odisha through the district administration.
A total of 745 farmers of the three panchyats had deposited Rs 3, 50,000 in Tamiaan branch of the Central Bank of India towards their crop insurance premium. Even though there was a crop loss of 90 per cent in these panchayats, but the farmers did not receive due insurance compensation, alleged Mishra.
“The assessment of crop loss has not been made properly. The State Government should constitute a committee for probing the actual loss incurred by the farmers due to drought and provide justice to the victim   farmers,” Mishra demanded. The present per acre compensation is low and it should be increased further by amending the Relief Code of 1958. To provide relief to farmers, the Government should announce a bonus of `300 with minimum support price (MSP) of Paddy, Mishra added.
