Farmers demand relief for crop loss

Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) functionaries staged a protest in front of the taluk office at Mulbagal on Wednesday demanding relief for the farmers who suffered loss due to rain and hailstorm in the taluk.

Crops, polyhouses and net houses were completely damaged, KRRS State vice-president K. Narayana Gowda said. The farmers who took loans for agricultural activities are reeling under problems due to the crop loss.

Mr. Gowda urged authorities to survey the loss by visiting the fields and provide compensation.
