Apart from the harvested crop that was damaged while being stored in procurement centers, the State government would also purchase the standing crop that was damaged in the fields, he said, adding that farmers with lavani patta would be compensated.
Nobody was to blame for the current situation because the crops were harmed by the untimely rains. The state government was providing adequate water, power, fertilizers, and other facilities to farmers, but it was not possible for anybody to prevent rains.
He stated that affected farmers would receive the highest compensation available in the country.
