In a significant relief measure for farmers affected by the devastating Tidwa cyclone, the chief minister has announced the allocation of ₹111.96 crore as compensation for crop damage. The announcement comes as part of the state government’s efforts to support the agricultural community, which suffered heavy losses due to the cyclone’s impact.
The Tidwa cyclone caused widespread destruction across several districts, bringing heavy rainfall and strong winds that severely damaged standing crops. Paddy fields, horticultural crops, and other seasonal produce were submerged or destroyed, leaving thousands of farmers facing financial hardship. Following detailed assessments conducted by revenue and agriculture department officials, the extent of crop loss was carefully evaluated.
Based on these reports, the chief minister approved the release of ₹111.96 crore from the State Disaster Response Fund to provide timely relief to the affected farmers. The compensation amount will be directly credited to the bank accounts of eligible farmers to ensure transparency and speedy disbursement. Officials have been instructed to complete the distribution process without delay so that farmers can prepare for the next cultivation season.
The chief minister emphasized that the government stands firmly with farmers during times of natural calamities and will continue to take necessary steps to safeguard their livelihoods. He also directed officials to closely monitor restoration work and provide additional support wherever required, including assistance for re-sowing and access to agricultural inputs.
Farmer associations have welcomed the announcement, stating that the relief will offer much-needed financial support and help farmers recover from their losses. The government’s prompt action has been seen as a reassurance to the farming community, reinforcing its commitment to agricultural welfare and disaster management.
This relief package reflects the state’s continued focus on protecting farmers and strengthening resilience against the increasing challenges posed by extreme weather events.
