  "account": "Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath transferred ₹493 crores to the bank accounts of 9.18 lakh farmers impacted by floods, excessive rainfall, hailstorms and cyclones on October 13, 2026. The assistance aims to provide compensation for crop damage, loss of houses and livestock. During the monsoon season, the government already provided ₹1,000 crores to disaster-affected farmers and citizens. Under Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana, those whose houses were damaged have been given ₹1.20 lakh separately. The CM promised immediate housing for those whose houses were destroyed, and compensation for livestock loss. If any farmer suffered a loss of life, ₹4 lakh would be transferred to their family within 24 hours. The government ensured that no middlemen were involved in the disbursement, and the money was sent directly to farmers through DBT. Adityanath alleged that in 2014, India sent ₹3,200 crore after Cyclone Hudhud but only ₹800 crore reached the farmers.",
