“The loss suffered by our farmers is deeply distressing,” Dr. Bhagat stated during his interaction with the affected individuals. “Their hard work and dedication, which sustain our community, have been dealt a severe blow. It is our duty to stand by them and provide all possible assistance to help them recover from this calamity,” he added.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Dr Bhagat immediately issued instructions to the revenue authorities to conduct a thorough assessment of the damage. He emphasized the need for a swift and accurate appraisal of the losses incurred by each farmer, ensuring that they receive appropriate compensation.
