Haryana Development and Panchayat Minister, Sh. Krishan Lal Panwar said that both the Central and State Governments are committed to safeguarding farmers’ interests and stand firmly with them in every crisis. He assured that all possible assistance will be extended to farmers whose crops were destroyed in the recent fire incident in Buana Lakhu village of Panipat.
The Minister visited the affected area in Panipat on Thursday to assess the situation and also listened to the grievances of farmers. He assured them that swift administrative action would be taken to ensure timely and adequate compensation.
He directed officers to conduct an accurate assessment of the losses and ensure that relief reaches the affected farmers without delay. Notably, a massive fire, reportedly caused due to unknown reasons, broke out in Buana Lakhu village recently, destroying the standing wheat crop of around 32 farmers spread over nearly 80 acres.
The incident has caused significant financial loss to the farmers. The administration has already conducted two inquiries to ascertain the cause of the fire and to prevent such incidents in the future.
The Minister said that the State Government completely understands the importance of farmers’ hard work and livelihood, reiterating that protecting farmers’ interests remains a top priority. He also highlighted that under the leadership of the Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, several welfare schemes have been implemented by the Central Government, directly benefiting farmers.
Expressing deep sympathy, the Minister said that the loss is not merely financial but also a setback to the hard work and hopes of farmers. He assured that the government stands with them in this difficult time and will ensure all possible support.
