Jind: A farmer Haryana must go through “unusual trials” for the past five years to repay the wrong money channeled to him from the state treasury.
Farmers from Jind Regency have made no results from the Office of the State Revenue Department to restore RS 52,920 credited incorrectly into the bank’s bank account on August 18, 2016.
Surajmal Nain of Kharicti has “went everywhere” – from blocking offices to the house of the minister’s head in Chandigarh – but “desperate struggle” continues.
The Surajmal family runs agriculture together and the income department in August 2016 saves RS 34,735 into the Bank of India’s state account and credits the same number as his brother account too.
Money reached Rs 69,470.
The brothers have been looking for compensation for pest attacks on their cotton plants but qualified only for RS 16,550, the farmer to the Toi.
After realizing that they were paid Rs 52,920 extras, the two brothers wrote to Tehsildar to find out the payment process because it was clear they would only receive a legitimate amount because of them.
In 2016, family cotton plants covered a little more than two hectares of a total of 12 hectares, and the government Haryana at that time had approved compensation of Rs 8,000 per hectare.
So, payment should not exceed RS 16,550.
After there was no response from Tehsildar, Surajmal went to CM residence in Chandigarh to file another complaint.
Surajmal even complained about Julana Tehsildar later, claiming that income officers deliberately transferred a large amount of compensation to harass it, but the same tehsildar was appointed to investigate this problem.
“Anyone who returns the wrong wallet, is valued, but the Haryana government makes me run from the pillar to be sent for five years,” Surajmal Toi said.
Farmers traced their tribulation resources to the RTI they had submitted in 2015 who were seeking the compensation details given to cotton farmers in 2014.
RTI’s details, Surajmal claim, revealed that income officials have shared compensated compensation.
“After that, I filed a complaint with the Deputy Commissioner and the Government of Haryana but nothing had happened so far,” he said.
