Providing immediate economic reprieve to rural communities ravaged by devastating seasonal weather, the Uttar Pradesh government on Monday transferred over ₹7.84 crore (₹7,84,75,000) directly into the bank accounts of 13,781 farmers across Bahraich district via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The comprehensive disaster relief package was launched following the live broadcast of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s state-level farmer assistance event from Gorakhpur. Staged at the city’s municipal auditorium hall, district leadership convened an administrative gathering to hand over ceremonial demo compensation checks to twenty affected agriculturalists while initiating bank account credits for thousands of cultivators reeling from recent catastrophic cyclones, overflow floods, and excessive rainfall.
