<h1>Chief minister announces e-portal registrations for 169,738 farmers, compensation, relief, and permanent drainage action plans</h1> The state chief minister announced that 169,738 farmers have registered crop-damage claims on 996,701 acres via an e-Kshatipurti portal set up for losses from waterlogging and floods; farmers can upload loss details and seek compensation. The government said it will provide relief, including Rs 4 lakh to families affected by roof collapses, and has dispatched truckloads of relief to neighbouring states. Officials were directed to monitor waterlogging, operate drainage pumps, and prepare action plans-including potential siphon and drain construction-to provide permanent solutions in heavily affected villages and to prevent recurrence.
