# Aland MLA seeks probe into crop insurance payout irregularities 2026-08-10T13:56:54+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Aland MLA B.R. Patil has demanded an inquiry into alleged irregularities in the disbursal of compensation under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY). He said farmers in his constituency enrolled in large numbers but had not received the insurance amount. Agriculture Department officials claim the money was transferred to bank accounts, yet in some gram panchayats like Khajuri and Duttargaon, farmers were told their crops were not eligible. Patil noted that farmers, already hit by drought, are making repeated visits to Deputy Commissioner and agriculture offices. He has called for a detailed probe, identification of those responsible, and strict action against negligent officials. He also urged employment guarantee works under VB-G RAM G scheme in all gram panchayats of Kalaburagi district to provide immediate income support, and warned of a protest if issues are not addressed. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Aland, crop insurance, drought, Farmers’ protest, Kalaburagi, PMFBY Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/aland-mla-seeks-probe-into-crop-insurance-payout-irregularities/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
