Kalaburagi Farmers Face Loan Notices Amid Crop Losses

Times of India · india

Farmers in Kalaburagi district are facing severe distress due to crop losses from drought conditions, compounded by banks issuing notices for agricultural loan repayments. Some farmers report their bank accounts are being frozen over unpaid dues, raising concerns about accessing crop insurance compensation. The deficient monsoon has led to crop failure, leaving growers without income while debts mount. Farmer leaders have urged government intervention, with the Deputy Commissioner stating that only the central government can resolve the issue by issuing directives to banks.
