Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav directed district administrations to evaluate crop losses caused by untimely rain and hailstorms across the state. He acknowledged reports of damaged crops and assured affected farmers of government support. The recent heavy rainfall and hailstorms particularly impacted wheat and gram crops in regions like Gwalior-Chambal and Malwa-Nimar.
The devastation led to a tragic incident where a farmer in Ujjain’s Tarana area, identified as Pankaj Malviya, reportedly died by suicide after his fields were destroyed. Congress MLA Mahesh Parmar from Tarana urged for an immediate survey of the affected crops, emphasizing the urgent need for assistance to farmers like Pankaj. Parmar highlighted the widespread damage to wheat and other seasonal crops in various villages of Ujjain district.
Following the distressing event, the Ujjain district administration has pledged to conduct a comprehensive survey of the crop damage, as confirmed by Parmar. The affected areas, including Tarana and other parts of Ujjain, are in dire need of support to assess and address the losses incurred by farmers. The government’s swift response is crucial to provide timely assistance and compensation to those affected by the natural calamity.
