Farmers hit by the rains in pondicherry would receive relief of Rs. 20,000 per hectare, according to chief minister Rangasamy. Today, he informed reporters at the puducherry Legislative Assembly. Regarding this, he said, "Continuous rains have devastated thousands of hectares of paddy fields in Puduvai and Karaikal. A total of 25 homes were damaged. Houses that have been damaged will receive Rs 25,000 in relief.
Paddy farmers will receive relief of Rs. 20,000 per hectare. The rains have harmed unemployed construction workers and fishermen. The household of each registered construction worker would receive Rs. 5,000 every ration card. As a result, 48 thousand families will be helped. Fishermen's families will receive Rs. 5,000 in relief for each ration card. As a result, 44 thousand families will be helped. If a cow dies, the compensation is ten thousand rupees, and if a goat dies, the compensation is five thousand rupees.
In the case of other crops, I've directed the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation. After performing a complete survey in Puduvai, Karaikal, funding would be sought from the Central Government. For the next rain, we'll take steps to prevent water stagnation. We re-tendered since the drain repair work was not completed properly the first time. Damaged urban and rural roads will be repaired with a budget of Rs 186 crore. After the rains, the roads will be laid.
