"The nearby villages and a large number of farmers have been affected by the collapse of ash dam of Reliance Power Plant in Singrauli district. Their crops are destroyed and debris have entered their houses," Nath tweeted in Hindi.
He demanded an investigation into the matter.
"The government should immediately make arrangements to compensate for the losses of the farmers. This whole matter should be investigated and whosoever is found guilty, strict action should be taken," he said in another tweet.
