Palghar: Fate of 1.13L farmers uncertain, just 32k have crops insurance

Palghar, Oct 20 (UNI) Just 32,000 or 22 per cent farmers out of 1,45,000 across this district have taken crops insurance, apprised Palghar Superintending Agricultural Officer Kashinath Tarpase on Tuesday while putting a question mark over the fate of those who haven't insured their produce.
This means the compensation will be paid only among these 32,000, he stated, adding that the four talukas of Wada, Vikramgadh, Palghar and Vasai have suffered heavy losses due to the recent unexpected rains.
Meanwhile, Collector Manik Gursal has ordered the revenue officials to complete the 'panchnama' of the damaged produce so that the insurance claims can be settled speedily.
