He raised the issue while inaugurating blacktopping work of the road leading to Badyal Qazian to Satraiyan in Suchetgarh.
The DDC member said that vagaries of weather has caused immense loss to the tiller community and J&K administration being the welfare state has the responsibility to adequately compensate those who have been hit hard by the natural calamity. He said that the proposed tractor rally has been postponed after the assurance given by the Advisor Farooq Khan.
Tony said that loss to farmers is colossal for paddy being the main crop of the rice bowl of J&K. He said that dilly dallying policy of the Government in releasing the compensation will not be tolerated and demanded that Government should give relief on the pattern of Delhi Government led by Arvind Kejriwal.
Talking about the road work, the DDC member said that it was long pending demand of people of the area and with the start of the work their pending demand has been fulfilled.
He said that Government should take a cue from famous adage ‘a stitch in time saves nine’ because at this time farmers don’t have the money to clear the fields after hailstorm devastated their standing crop and timely release of payment will help them to pick up bit by bit their lost hope. He said that Government should not test the patience of farming community at this hour of crisis and extend help as soon as possible.
