Subject Request for immediate relief and compensation for severe crop losses caused by the ARNAB cyclone/storm.
Respected Sir/Madam,
Due to the impact of the ARNAB cyclone/storm, heavy rains and strong winds occurred across several coastal districts of the State on October 26, 27 and 28. West Godavari, Kakinada, Konaseema, East Godavari, Krishna, Guntur and Bapatla districts were severely affected. The agricultural sector has suffered extensive damage. We bring this matter to your attention and request that immediate relief measures be undertaken.
Various crops, including paddy, maize, banana, coconut, papaya, vegetables, chilli, cotton and other crops, have suffered heavy damage. Fields have been inundated; sand and silt have been deposited in fields; agricultural bunds and borewells have been damaged. Streams, canals and drains have overflowed, damaging roads and disrupting public transport. Electricity poles have fallen and power lines have been damaged. Trees have been uprooted and houses have also been damaged.
Farmers have borrowed heavily to raise these crops, and their livelihoods have now been severely affected by the cyclone.
Fishermen in coastal areas lost fishing boats and nets in a big way. They need immediate assistance. Handicrafts like handlioms, animals like baffallows, goats and sheep’s lost.
Therefore we are requesting you recommend government of India to extend immediate relief for immediate relief activity and take the following relief measures.
1) Crop losses must be assessed immediately. A joint team comprising representatives of the Agriculture, Horticulture and Revenue Departments, along with representatives of the Rythu Sangham (Farmers’ Association), must be constituted and the assessment completed within 48 hours.
2) We appeal that the laws be amended so that all those who have lost crops, whether they have paid crop insurance or not, come under crop insurance.
3) Tenant farmers must be identified and enumerated, and compensation for the losses suffered must be provided to them.
4) Tenant farmers who have invested in crops and, moreover, in some areas have paid rent in advance, did not receive crop loans, and did not get government incentives like the Annadata Sukhibhava schemes, have suffered severe losses.
5) Field-level surveys must be conducted without relying solely on e-Crop and crop-cutting experiment data. Survey lists must be displayed at the village secretariats. Farmers’ objections must be recorded and errors corrected so that no affected farmer is left out.
6) Compensation must be provided at Rs. 25,000 per acre for paddy crops and Rs. 1 lakh per acre for horticultural crops. Compensation for coconut and cashew/mango crops must be increased. Rs. 20,000 must be paid for each coconut tree damaged.
7) We appeal that the damage caused to agricultural pump sets, agricultural machinery and equipment, cattle, and other allied tools also be included in the list of compensations.
8) Quality seeds required for farmers to sow crops again and loan facilities should be provided. Old loans should be rescheduled without interest. Steps should be taken on a war footing to remove obstructions in the drains so that the water that has entered the fields is removed immediately and the water comes out of the fields.
9) Compensation must be paid to farmers who have suffered crop losses within 15 days, without delay.
10) An interim compensation of 25% under crop insurance must be released to farmers immediately. Insurance companies must be instructed not to delay the survey process.
11) Crop loans must be waived, and fresh crop loans must be provided to farmers.
12) Short-duration seeds and fertilisers must be supplied at subsidised rates.
13) Agricultural workers, SCs, STs, and Artisans should be given Rs 10,000/- per family for livelihood.
14) Fisherman families should be given Rs. 50,000/- to restore their livelihoods.
Thanking you,
S/D
