Taking yet another step towards safeguarding the interest of the farmers, the Haryana Government has decided to hire ‘Kshatipurti Sahayak’ to assist the Patwari in conducting special Girdawari of crops damaged due to rain. As per the decision, the area entered into E-Fasal Kshatipurti will be divided into Kshatipurti blocks of 500 acres and Kshatipurti Sahayak will conduct verification of each Kshatipurti block by assisting the Patwari. The Sahayak will upload the photo of the damaged crop with the location and time stamp on it on E-Fasal Kshatipurti and E- Special Girdawari. Notably, the State Government had decided to conduct special Girdawari for crops damaged due to rain and hailstorm. Necessary directions have been issued to provide timely relief to the farmers by the month of May. Taking a step further in this direction, now the government has decided to hire Kshatipurti Sahayak to complete the crop damage verification on E-Fasal Kshatipurti and E- Special Girdawari and further provide timely relief to the farmers. All the Deputy Commissioners have been directed to engage ‘Kshatipurti Sahayak’ through a fair and transparent hiring process at the earliest. It is pertinent to mention here that Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal himself is monitoring the entire Girdawari process. “The government is standing with the farmers and every possible help will be extended to the farmer brothers so as to ensure they do not face any trouble. The process of Girdawari has been expedited so as to ensure compensation for the damaged crops can be given in a time-bound manner,” Sh. Manohar Lal.
