Delhi BJP leaders led by MP Sh. Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma today widely travelled to several villages of Delhi to extend a supportive hand to the farmers who have suffered major winter crop loss for second year in succession due to sudden untimely hailstorms & rains in March.
Delhi BJP President Sh. Satish Upadhyay today requested the Lt. Governor of Delhi Sh. Najeeb Jung to immediately appoint a Nodal Officer for assessment of crop loss to ensure that offices of Patwaris do not exploit or harass the farmers like we heard in several areas last year. All Patwaris be brought under the Nodal Officers. Interim Relief Cheques be distributed before Holi to support farmers.
Delhi BJP President Sh. Satish Upadhyay & MP Sh. Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma have said that crops of wheat & mustard which were almost fully grown have suffered 60 to 80% loss due to the sudden hailstorms in March and have demanded compensation of Rs. 50,000 to 70,000 per acre as per crop loss valuation.
Delhi BJP will be meeting the Union Agriculture Minister Sh. Radha Mohan Singh to draw his attention to the poor plight of Delhi farmers due to loss of 3 crops in a row since March 2015. The Party will request the Union Minister Sh. R.M. Singh to extend a special rehabilitation package for the farmers of Delhi who are in an economic mess due to this 3rd crop loss.
MP Dr. Udit Raj has expressed distress over the heavy crop loss to farmers in Outer Delhi & North West Districts and said that most farmers in these areas have small holdings and this crop loss has caused them irreparable loss. He has demanded an immediate relief for the farmers.
Sh. Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma today met farmers in West Delhi Villages Kadipur, Dhasa, Mallikpur, Isapur, Ujwa, Samaspur, Ravta & Daulatpur accompanied by Najafgarh District President Sh. Satendra Chaudhary & local BJP activists Sh. Kuldeep Dagar, Sh. Satpal Mallik, Sh. Surendra Matiala and others.
