he recent rains in Haveri district have caused extensive damage as rain water has entered houses, and tragically, a child was swept away and lost its life.Crops have been destroyed in all taluks.
The state government must immediately conduct a crop survey and provide compensation to the affected people, said former Chief Minister and Member of Parliament Basavaraj Bommai
In a series of statements on X,he mentioned that houses have collapsed due to the continuous rains,and immediate financial assistance should be released for those who have lost their homes.
Relief centers should be set up for those displaced, providing them with adequate arrangements. Several village roads have been washed away,and the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) and Public Works Department (PWD) should be instructed to restore connectivity immediately.
He has already spoken to the Haveri District Commissioner over the phone,and he is confident that swift action will be taken.
Bommai criticized the state government for not providing any compensation to farmers during the drought, and he emphasized that they should not repeat the same mistake now.
The Government must quickly provide compensation for the crop losses without waiting for the central government.
After providing the immediate relief,there would still be an opportunity to seek aid from the central government.
He urged the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to focus on the flood situation in Haveri district and immediately release funds from the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) available with the District Commissioner.
Bommai also called for immediate compensation to the family of the young boy,Nivedan,who was swept away in the flood.He demanded that there be no delay in providing timely relief to farmers who have already lost their crops this monsoon.
