Our CorrespondentMandi Ahmedgarh, Dec 6Batting for the rights of farmers of Malwa, Fatehgarh Sahib MP Dr Amar Singh Boparai has urged the Union Government to increase the rate of compensation for damage to crops caused by stray animals. “There is policy on wild animals but there is no policy on evaluation of damages being caused by stray animals,” argued Boparai. “Bring in compensation policy for losses due to stray animals. Stray animals are causing losses not less than floods and rains,” said Boparai. We fail to understand what farmers will do if rains are staggered for a couple of months,” said Dr Boparai..
