Crop damage: Provide one-time exemption of KCC loan to farmers, Tarigami to Govt

Kulgam, Dec 12 (UNI) Expressing serious concern over the rising unemployment, power scarcity, corruption and unabated killings/arrests in Kashmir, senior CPI (M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami on Wednesday demanded one-time exemption of KCC loan to the small farmers and fruit growers, whose harvest was damaged by the recent heavy snowfall.
''The announced scale of relief under the 'state-specific special natural calamity' for damaged orchards due to snowfall is quite inadequate, given the quantum of destruction. Besides the huge damage to the present crop, the snowfall caused massive damage to fruit trees.
''Millions of trees have been damaged due to the snowfall and the mainstay of Kashmir economy - horticulture - is in shambles,'' he said, while addressing a workers convention, here.
