It proposes government assistance for cultivating alternative crops in such plantations
Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra said on Saturday that the government is expected to soon approve a ₹18-crore package for arecanut plantations hit by yellow leaf disease (YLD) in coastal and Malnad belts.
Speaking during his village stay programme at Kukkujadkka in Sullia taluk, he said the Horticulture Department has sent the package to the government for approval.
The village stay programme had been organised to address the grievances of people residing in the jurisdiction of Amara Mudnur and Amara Padnur Gram Panchayats in the same taluk. Earlier, an arecanut grower raised the issue pertaining to YLD at the meeting.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat urges people to understand the organisation's goal of uniting Hindu society, emphasizing close contact over distance.
