Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday sought to allay farmers' fears over losses to crops due to rains, saying saying he has already issued directions to the officials to carry out a special girdawari (survey).
The farmers will be completely compensated for the losses, he said on the sidelines of an event in Panchkula.
His assurance comes even as the main Opposition party Congress has demanded the BJP-JJP coalition government in the State to award compensation to the farmers at the earliest.
It has also asked the government to undertake measures to get rain water accumulated in the fields removed on priority.
Responding to a question on the recent protests by Arhtiyas or commission agents, the Chief Minister said they have called off the stir while some of their demands have been accepted.
He said the State government has written to the Central government regarding other demands, such as increasing their commission.
The Arhtiyas in the State had gone on a strike, saying they were against the government's move to make trading of basmati varieties of paddy mandatory on the National Agriculture Market (e-NAM portal).
