New Delhi (GR-TYP-BIN): Aam Aadmi Party thanks the Delhi government for its announcement of unprecedented compensation to the farmers whose crops have been destroyed by the recent unseasonal rains and hailstorm in Delhi. The AAP said it in its press release on April 11.
The decision of the Arvind Kejriwal government to provide a compensation of Rs. 50,000 per hectare (Rs. 20,000 per acre) to every affected farmer is highest ever by any government in the country.
The AAP government has proved its pro-people character in each of its decision so far and the farmers compensation in Delhi should serve as an eye-opener for other state governments where farmers crops have been destroyed.
The party appreciates the Delhi government’s plan of providing subsidy to farmers for the purchase of seeds and fertilizers and also quick tubewell connections for irrigation. No government in Delhi had so far addressed the important concerns of farmers.
