Ratia: Following heavy rainfall and hailstorms that recently damaged crops in the Ratia subdivision, SDM Surender Singh inspected affected agricultural fields and directed Revenue Department officials to ensure an accurate assessment of crop losses.

During the inspection, the SDM issued necessary instructions to officials to verify the extent of damage in affected areas and ensure that eligible farmers receive the benefits of the compensation process without unnecessary delays.

Ground Verification of Crop Damage Claims Underway

SDM Surender Singh said complaints regarding crop damage submitted by affected farmers through the e-Kshatipurti portal are being physically verified on the ground.

Revenue Department teams, including Patwaris and Kanungos, are visiting agricultural fields to inspect damaged crops and assess the actual extent of losses.

He emphasised that ground-level verification is essential to ensure that the assessment accurately reflects the damage suffered by farmers.

Officials Directed to Complete Verification Without Delay

The SDM instructed the concerned Kanungos and area Patwaris to complete field verification of all applications registered on the e-Kshatipurti portal as soon as possible.

He stressed that the entire process must be conducted with transparency and impartiality so that no eligible farmer affected by the rainfall and hailstorms is deprived of their rightful compensation.

Officials were also directed to ensure that every application receives proper attention during the verification process.

Crop Damage Reports to Be Uploaded Promptly

Surender Singh further instructed officials to upload the relevant inspection reports on the e-Kshatipurti portal immediately after completing physical verification of the agricultural fields.

This will help ensure that subsequent administrative procedures and compensation-related processes are completed within the stipulated timeframe.

The SDM directed all concerned officials to treat the assessment exercise as a priority and carry out their responsibilities with utmost seriousness and accountability.
