He said that survey for frost-hit crops has not been started so far. BJP national vice president further said, “Crops of gram, brinjal, coriander, masoor, potatoes have been completely damaged due to frost in the said districts. And district administration has not started survey which I came to know by farmers during meeting and interaction. Neither political representative nor any officials visited the villages to take the stock of damage. Farmers are in dire need of financial support from the government at this crucial moment.”
Chouhan demanded, “Government should start survey and ensure instant help to affected farmers. Besides, farmers should be provided interest free loan. Brinjal should be included in list of damaged crops. Government should make arrangement for financial support of marriages, and medical care of sick in the families of affected farmers.”
