The Samiti (a farmer’s collective) has issued a formal warning to the State Government regarding the delayed disbursement of ₹667.73 crore of crop insurance claims. While the government approved these funds in March 2025, disbursement has only reached ₹340.99 crore. This delay has prompted the Samiti to express concern about potential disruption to farmers’ livelihoods and financial stability. The group is demanding a significantly faster timeline for funds to be released, emphasizing the urgent need to address the financial hardship experienced by agricultural communities. They are stating this delay is escalating pressure and may result in further agitation.
