Summary:
Bublani said 229 farmers so far had been served environment compensation notices in the district whereas 50 FIRs were registered. Similarly, 178 farmers’ land records have been marked with red entries that would bar them from any type of farm benefits in future. Reviewing the status of the applications for financial assistance and stubble burning cases, Bublani said that the online applications must be verified offline to avoid any wrong entry. He also cautioned the sarpanches to verify the claims of the farmers at the initial stage very carefully. He also directed the officials concerned to make it sure that only marginal and small farmers were included in the financial assistance list..
