Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, the president of the Punjab Congress party, has called on Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to provide urgent assistance to farmers in Punjab after their crops were severely damaged by unseasonal rains and hailstorms. The Malwa region of Punjab has been particularly affected, with reports indicating that the hailstorm has flattened wheat crops, rendering them unusable even for fodder. Warring criticized the Punjab government's response, stating that it has failed to adequately support the affected farmers and has not provided compensation for losses incurred during previous disasters, such as last year's floods. He expressed doubts about the government's intentions, claiming that the proposed crop damage surveys, known as 'girdawari', would not be effective given the extent of the destruction. Warring intends to meet with Chouhan in Delhi to advocate for immediate relief for the farmers, emphasizing the urgency of the situation as they cannot afford to wait for bureaucratic processes.
