The Rajasthan government has allocated Rs 1,325 crore for farmers whose kharif crops have been affected in the nine drought-hit districts of the state.
Chairing a meeting with state disaster relief management officials here Saturday, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said the amount must be transferred to the bank accounts of the affected farmers. He said the government has allocated the funds.
Gehlot said, "The state government will forward a proposal to the Centre to increase the time period for organising run relief activities in the affected areas from present six months to nine months."
