Amaravati: AP Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has once again taken the sensational decision to provide Rs 7 lakh compensation to the farmer families who have committed suicide, and apart from this, he said that his government is going to bring a special law that no one else could take their compensation.
CM YS Jagan has conducted a video conference with district Collector's and SP at Secretariat on Wednesday. Minister's Kodali Nani, Perni Nani, CS LV Subramanyam, and other officials have attended the meeting.
The CM has issued orders to the officials over the compensation to the farmers who have committed suicide from 2014-2019.
On the occasion, CM YS Jagan said that according to the District Crime Records Bureau (DCRB), a total of 1,513 farmers had committed suicide, but the records show only 391 people were compensated. By this, we can understand that the previous government refused to pay compensation to these farmer families.
CM clarified to do the data verification in the districts, if there are any eligible farmer families then immediately provide the benefit to them.
YS Jagan suggested that this program should be done along with the MLA's. Anywhere if any unexpected thing happens in the farmer's family, then the district Collector should respond immediately. He said the Collector, along with local MLA, should visit the family.
He also said when there is a situation of farmers or tenant farmers committing suicide, the Collector should go to those families, and should not wait for the orders from the CMO.
YS Jagan said that our's is the people's government, a humanitarian government and this is how our ruling will be. He said to show sympathy and humanity towards families of the dead one.
