Arvind Kejriwal to address 'Sahyog Rally' for farmers in Delhi

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will address a 'Sahyog Rally' in the Mundka area of outer Delhi on Saturday.

He is likely to announce a relief package for farmers whose crops have been affected by untimely rains in the past few week and speak about his government's policy for farmers.

Unseasonal rains this year have damaged over 24.7 million acres of crops.

Debt-laden farmers have already been suffering because of low incomes and weak global food prices.

A delegation of farmers had earlier on Friday called on Kejriwal at the Delhi Secretariat to submit a memorandum requesting compensation to Delhi farmers for loss of crops due to untimely rains.
