Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, on Saturday, transferred ₹20.06 crore into the bank accounts of 17,500 farmers affected by heavy rains and floods across 11 districts.
During a virtual interaction with farmers, the CM assured that banana growers in Dhar district will soon benefit from the setting up of a textile unit that will use banana stems for cloth production.
He said, “The smile of farmers is the real strength of the MP government. While rains have caused damage, the same rains will also help compensate for the loss.”
