Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) GVV Sarma on
Thursday informed that a total of 139 blocks in 21 districts have been affected
by drought in the State while the Government has received reports of alleged
suicide of 41 farmers from district Collectors.
“The Government is reviewing the reports of the
District Collectors on the alleged suicide of 41 farmers and also the eye
estimate reports of crop loss. So far as farmers’ death is concerned, we are
studying the reports in details to find out the causes and circumstances of the
deaths,” Sarma told reporters here.
Sarma said the District Collectors, as per the
Odisha Relief Code, have submitted eye estimate reports on the crop conditions
in their districts this year.
“As per reports, more than 33 per cent of crops in
139 blocks of 21 districts have been damaged due to scanty rainfall this year,”
he added.
He further said as per the Odisha Relief Code, a
detailed crop-cutting experiment would be made.
“After the crop cutting experiment is completed, a
survey will be made to find out the actual farmers and villages sustaining over
33 per cent of crop loss. After that, they will be provided agricultural
inputs, subsidy under the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) scheme,” added
Sarma.
He also informed that the Government has taken
steps under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against the moneylenders who
are doing business without registration.
He further said the Government is taking steps for
more coordinated action in the agriculture sector.
