"We have invited crop loss statistics from all the state and very soon a relief package will be announced to state in accordance with the crop loss they suffered," said union home minister.
The home minister and chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan conducted an ariel survey on Sunday afternoon to gauge the extent of crop loss in Indore, Ujjain, Dewas, Rajgarh, Sehore, Guna and Gwalior districts of western MP. Apart from these places, rabi crops in Raisen, Sagar, Khargone, Tikamgarh, Dhar, Neemuch, Jhabua, Mandsaur, Rewa, Sidhi, Satna and Shahdol districts were also affected because of unseasonal rains and hailstorm lashed most parts of the sub-continent in the first week of March, hugely affecting the seasonal rabi crops in various states.
According to news reports, so far, 5 farmers in western MP have ended their life in distress. On Friday 30-year-old farmer allegedly committed suicide by consuming pesticide in his agricultural field in Barud area of Khargone district. He suspected to have committed suicide due to damaging of standing Rabi crop due to recent rains and mounting burden of repaying Rs 5 lakh bank and cooperative society loan.
This is the second suicide by a farmer in Barud area of Khargone district, 150 km from Indore within a fortnight owing to loss of crop due to recent rains and hailstorm.
On March 13, a 45-year-old farmer Bansilal Gupta had ended life by consuming pesticide, also possibly due to loss of standing Rabi crop due to rain and hailstorm in same Barud area.
A week back in Alirajpur district of MP's Malwa-Nimar region, a 26-year-old farmer Rajusingh had hanged self to death from a tree in his agricultural field, allegedly owing to pressure of repaying Rs 1.40 lakh bank loan amid standing Rabi crop being hit adversely by rain.
State Congress chief Arun Yadav visited house of farmer, who allegedly committed suicide due to crop loss and mounting bank loan, and demanded to waiver the loans of last five years of farmers and electricity bill.
