Pralhad Joshi Urges Karnataka to Release Rs 1,680 Crore Crop Insurance Premium
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi has urged Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar to release the state's Rs 1,680 crore share of the crop insurance premium under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. Joshi noted that while the Centre has paid its Rs 1,342 crore share, the state's delay is preventing timely compensation to farmers affected by drought. He called on Shivakumar to direct the Finance Department to clear the pending payment to support distressed farmers.
