The state minister in Jharkhand has directed a survey to assess crop losses caused by the recent cyclone and announced immediate relief measures for affected farmers.
Jharkhand's state minister has issued an official order to conduct a comprehensive survey of agricultural damage following the cyclone that struck the region last week. The survey will map the extent of crop loss across the most affected districts, enabling the government to quantify the impact and plan targeted assistance.
The minister also announced that relief packages, including financial aid and seed distribution, will be rolled out promptly to support farmers whose livelihoods have been disrupted. State officials are coordinating with local agricultural offices to expedite the distribution of resources.
Authorities have urged farmers to register any damage with the designated survey teams to ensure that aid reaches those most in need. The move comes as part of the broader disaster response effort aimed at stabilising the agricultural sector in the wake of the cyclone.
The survey findings will be compiled over the next two weeks, after which the state will finalize the relief disbursement schedule. Officials emphasized transparency and swift action to mitigate the economic fallout for the farming community.
