Farmers of Kuzhimathur hamlet at Thiruvaiyaru taluk in Thanjavur district will soon be the first to get compensation under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana scheme for crop loss suffered during initial days of cultivation.
Over 300 acres of paddy crop, just transplanted, at this revenue village submerged in water due to a sudden and heavy downpour this month.
The water remained on the field for more than three to four days and efforts to drain the excess water went in vain.The transplanted crop perished, pushing the farmers into gloom.
