Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday announced that farmers will be given compensation of their losses due the hail storm.

The Chief Minister took to his official Twitter handle on Sunday informing that all district collectors have been instructed to evaluate the damaged crops.

"Hailstorm has affected many districts in the state. I have instructed all collectors to take information by sending teams for evaluation of crop damage. The Farmer brothers do not have to worry, their losses will be compensated," read the tweet.
