Similarly, the compensation amount has been increased from Rs 10000 to Rs 12500 for 50 percent to 75 percent damage. Apart from 25 percent increase in compensation will be given in slabs below this, the Chief Minister said during the launch of a modern Cooperative Sugar Mill constructed at a cost of Rs 263 crore in Karnal.
Khattar said that the Haryana Government is giving the highest crop compensation across the country, however, as there has been no increase in this amount since a few years, so it has been enhanced further.
The Chief Minister called upon the farmers to get their crop insured. He said that two days ago the government had announced that the farmer possessing 2 acres of land will not have to pay crop Insurance premium, while for the farmers possessing 5 acres of land, the government has decided to pay half the premium. The farmers having land more than 5 acres will have to get the crop insured themselves, he added.
