Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has announced a Rs 8.5 crore package for assistance to farmers in the flood-affected areas of the state. The package includes free and subsidised seeds of different crops and additional fertilisers to the farmers. The flood-affected areas include Sirsa, Fatehabad, Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal and some parts of Karnal district.

The stayte government will supply mini-kits of seeds of alternative crops like toria, hybrid bajra and jowar in the affected areas free of cost.

The affected farmers will also be given seeds of basmati varieties at subsidised rates to enable them to raise fresh nursery or go in for direct seeding.

An official spokesman said here today that seeds of hybrid maize and moong or urd would be supplied at highly subsidised rates to ensure that no area was left unsown in the flood-affected districts. Since the fertilisers used by farmers while transplanting paddy and other crops had gone waste due to the heavy rain and floods, allocation of urea had been increased from 8.5 lakh metric tonnes to 9 lakh metric tonnes and of the DAP from 3.2 lakh metric tonnes to 3.6 lakh metric tonnes.

The spokesman said paddy had been damaged in 93,815 hectares in the flood-affected districts whereas cotton had been damaged in 6,434 hectares. Besides, fruits and vegetables, fodder crops had also been damaged in 11,464 hectares. The damage to pulses, vegetables and horticultural crops was quite substantial.
