In a letter to the Chief Secretary here Monday, Mr. Naidu stressed the immediate need for ensuring remunerative prices for the crops of farmers so as to help them tide over the debts. The Government's assistance was immediately needed considering the fact that the farmers were steeped in financial crisis due to Coronavirus infections and also economic lockdowns.
