AAP legislator demands compensation for Delhi farmers

New Delhi (September 8 UNI) Sanjeev Jha, the Aam Aadmi Party’s Chief Whip in the Delhi Assembly, has written to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta seeking compensation for Delhi's farmers saying their crops were destroyed by recent flooding from the Yamuna River.
In the letter, Jha, who is the MLA from Burari, stated that rising water levels have caused severe waterlogging, submerging crops in low-lying areas of his constituency. He described the situation as a "serious livelihood crisis" for numerous farming families, noting that the destruction of their crops has resulted in a significant loss of income after months of work.
Jha urged the Chief Minister to deploy special survey teams to quickly assess the extent of the crop damage. He pointed out that in previous instances of similar natural calamities, the government had provided timely compensation and relief to affected farmers, and he expects the same response this time.
