Rajasthan Govt's compensation to farmers insufficient: Cong

Alleging that Rajasthan Government was not providing relief to all farmers who had suffered losses due to the recent hailstorms, Congress today demanded more villages be covered under the state's compensation package.
Former Pradesh Congress Committee president Chandrabhan said standing crops in close to 22,000 villages had been damaged in the recent hailstorms and rains, but the government had yesterday announced package for only 4,000 villages which "is insufficient".
He said the announcement had created resentment among a section of farmers because many affected areas had been overlooked while deciding the package.
