Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday released over ₹52 crore as crop loss compensation to 22,617 farmers whose crops were damaged due to hailstorms and heavy rains during the 2024-25 rabi crop cycle.

The assessment covered 15 districts namely Ambala, Bhiwani, Charkhi Dadri, Gurugram, Hisar, Jhajjar, Jind, Kaithal, Kurukshetra, Mahendragarh, Mewat, Palwal, Rewari, Rohtak and Yamunanagar in the state, and financial aid was sanctioned accordingly to support the affected farming communities, he added.

The other districts received varying amounts based on their verified affected areas and registered farmers.
The compensation amounts were calculated based on the affected area that was verified and in accordance with government norms for disaster relief.
Meanwhile, Saini unveiled a new official website (https://revenueharyana.gov.in/) of the revenue and disaster management department. He stated that through this initiative transparency will be ensured in the department and scope of leakages will be eliminated.
