Tanuku, Oct 28, 2013: YSR Congress party honourary

Godavari district that the party would bring pressure on the Centre to ensure
that their loans are rescheduled.

Speaking to reporters here after visiting the
flood-hit areas and inundated crops and meeting the farmers in several villages
in and around Tanuku on the second day of her tour, she demanded the Government
to announce waiver of loans and pay the usual compensation of Rs.10,000 per
acre immediately besides providing the input subsidy for all those who lost
their crops in the recent floods.

“Government should also build pucca houses under the
Indiramma Scheme for all those who lost their houses in the rain fury and
Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) should purchase the wet cotton produce” she
said, adding that the compensation should also be extended for all
tenant-farmers.
