Karnataka allows release of crop insurance claims for drought-hit areas
Mid-season adversity clause invoked
Karnataka's government has authorized crop insurance companies to pay out claims to farmers affected by drought in certain regions. This decision was made during a meeting of senior officials in Bengaluru on August 14.
In a specific order for the Belagavi district, companies were granted permission to use the mid-season adversity clause to settle claims for 29 gram panchayats in Ramadurg and six in Yaragatti taluk. These panchayats produce green gram and black gram crops. The district-level monitoring committee, led by the Deputy Commissioner, will oversee coordination between insurers and claimants, as per government instructions.
