My name is Subhendu Panda. I am calling from Bodem block of Nayapada district of Odisha. Last year we had a bad weather and Govt has decided to compensate the farmer in the tune of Rs 3000 per hectare. The money has arrived in the office more than 3 months back. When we go to enquire they say that they have sent the money to bank but when we go to bank they say no money has come. How long will farmers be harassed this way? he asks.
