Similarly, the government was made aware about the loss the farmers incurred on livestock and crops due to monsoon-induced disasters occurred in various parts of the country. Immediate relief distribution to them was stressed on the occasion. This year too, the farmers have been deprived of fertilizers for the paddy plantation.
