RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA-------------------------The Sub-Divisional Officer sent a letter to the Chief Minister requesting compensation for their crop damage. Farmers arrived at the Sub-Divisional Officer's office with rotten paddy.

An 11-member delegation of farmers submitted a letter through the Sub-Divisional Officer, Jagdishpur, demanding compensation of ₹50,000 per acre for farmers' crop damage assessment. It is unfortunate that a team has not been formed to assess farmers' crop damage even after 20 days in an agriculturally rich country.

The Sub-Divisional Officer, Jagdishpur, told the farmers that he was sending the letter today. Within three days, teams of Sub-Divisional Agriculture Officers and Block Agriculture Officers would be formed and sent to every village. The farmers' crop damage assessment would be conducted and the government-determined compensation for crop damage would be provided within a month. If an investigation is not conducted soon, there will be protests.

A list of 200 villages in the Jagdishpur Assembly constituency was submitted to the Sub-Divisional Officer. In the Jagdishpur Assembly constituency alone, crops worth crores of rupees have been destroyed on over 1000 acres. Memorandum regarding assessing the crop damage caused by rain in Jagdishpur, Bhojpur, Shahabad areas, and the entire Bihar, and providing compensation of Rs. 50,000 per acre.

Due to continuous rain in the last month of October 2025, in Jagdishpur, Bhojpur, and Shahabad areas, the paddy crop of farmers has been severely damaged, causing great distress to the farmers. The government also has a provision that in case of a disaster, compensation will be provided after assessing the crop damage.
