If crop gets destroyed by fire then get compensation like this

Fire Incident: During the summer season, due to short circuit in the electrical wires or any other reason, the crops prepared in the fields are getting burnt to ashes. Such incidents mostly occur during the summer season. To provide relief to farmers from such accidents, Chief Minister Sports-Barn Accident Assistance Scheme is being run. Under this, there is a provision to give compensation to farmers in lieu of crop loss.

According to the rules, if the fire occurs due to any common reason then a complaint is filed. Whereas, if the fire occurs due to electrical wires etc. then the electricity department gives compensation in lieu of the burnt crops. For this, a report is sent by the district administration and after this the damage is assessed and compensation is given to the farmers.

What is the process?

If there is a fire in your farm, you can lodge a complaint in the block through the village head or the secretary. With this you can also get information about whether your crop insurance covers such incidents or not?
