Faridabad Farmers Drown in Debt After Floods Destroy Crops, Await Compensation
- •Manjhawali village farmers in Faridabad face severe debt after Yamuna floods destroyed crops.
- •Most farmers have not received government compensation, despite months of waiting and significant losses.
- •Farmers like Sumit Sharma and Jagdish Sharma lost entire crops, invested heavily, and took loans from commission agents.
- •Compensation received, like Rahul's ₹16,000 for five acres, is grossly inadequate compared to ₹60,000 cost and ₹70,000 field preparation.
- •With no other employment, farmers struggle to manage household expenses and sow new crops, appealing for urgent government aid.
Why It Matters: Manjhawali farmers are in deep debt due to flood-destroyed crops and lack of government compensation.
