Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has expressed his concern over the damage to crops caused by rain and hailstorms in Rajasthan, including Kota-Bundi districts. The sudden change in weather has caused great distress to farmers, and the speaker has called for immediate action to support them.
During his statement, Shri Birla emphasized that the government should take adequate measures to deal with the situation. He also urged the district administration and the Agriculture Department to take swift action to address the problem. Birla said that farmers are suffering, and in this critical time, it’s crucial to stand with them.
The untimely rains, thunderstorms, and hailstorms have affected many districts of Rajasthan, causing severe damage to crops. Hailstorm has particularly hit crops, leading to an enormous loss for farmers. In addition, lightning has caused the loss of lives in some areas, with two people losing their lives in Pali and one each in Nagaur and Udaipur. Moreover, the change in the weather has caused the temperature to drop by four degrees, adding to the farmers’ woes.
The government has been urged to offer relief to the affected farmers, and the local authorities have been asked to initiate measures to mitigate the damages caused by the weather conditions. The agriculture department has been instructed to provide adequate compensation to farmers and ensure that they are supported in every way possible.
The speaker also called for a comprehensive assessment of the damage caused by the hailstorm to ascertain the extent of the loss to farmers. The assessment would enable the government to develop a suitable response and aid in addressing the issue.
The agriculture sector plays a critical role in the economy of Rajasthan, and the state government has taken many initiatives to support farmers. However, the recent weather conditions have posed a significant threat to the livelihoods of farmers. Hence, immediate measures are necessary to address the situation and support farmers during this critical time.
The recent weather conditions in Rajasthan have caused significant harm to farmers, and the government must take swift action to provide relief and support to the affected farmers. The agriculture department must also take measures to prevent such situations in the future and ensure the welfare of farmers in the state.
