Farmers given cheques worth
Rs 2.88 cr
Ambala, October 14 He said the scheme had been implemented in four blocks of the state, including block 2 of Ambala district, Baben of Kurukshetra district, Tohana of Fatehabad district and Matloda of Panipat district. He said a private company had been providing insurance for weather-based crops. As the production of crops was mainly dependent on the weather conditions, the insurance would provide cover against weather-related risks. The risks included excessive rainfall or shortage in rainfall, fluctuations in humidity and variations in the temperature, he added. The state government was providing a subsidy of 90 per cent to the farmers on agricultural implements, he added. The minister appealed to the farmers to come forward to take the benefit of the scheme introduced by the government. He said farmers were being encouraged to adopt new farming technologies. Rajesh Rai, director of the insurance company, said it was a unique scheme, as the beneficiary would not have to raise any claims. The company would voluntarily get data from the Indian Meteorological Department and National Collateral Management Services Ltd and inform the beneficiaries and settle their claims. The entire process would be transparent, he added. He said the company had insured over 22 lakh farmers across 14 states. The move would bring a sigh of relief to farmers who were constantly worried about the changing climatic conditions, Rai added. Those present included Tej Parkash Singh, chairman, Central Cooperative Bank; Pinki Gola, chairperson, Zila Parishad; Dr CP Malik, additional cane commissioner; besides officers of the district administration.

Consumer courts
Mohali, October 14 In an order, forum president BS Mehandiratta directed Harman Motors, Industrial Area, Phase VII, and United India Insurance Company Limited, Sector 35, Chandigarh, to jointly and severally reimburse to the complainant an amount of Rs 1.2 lakh with interest thereon at the rate of 9 per cent per annum from the date of receipt till the date of actual payment. Besides, the insurance company has been directed to reimburse the total insured value of the car i.e. Rs 2.48 lakh with interest thereon at the rate of 9 per cent per annum with effect from the date of institution of the complaint till the date of actual payment. The complainant has been told to return the car to the insurance company on the receipt of the awarded amount. Both opposite parties have also been directed to pay Rs 3,000 each towards the costs of litigation. In his complaint, Balwinder Singh, a resident of Sector 47, Chandigarh, had claimed that his Indica car was insured with United India Insurance Company for Rs 2.48 lakh. The car met with an accident in November last year. The insurance company was informed about the accident and it deputed its surveyor for the assessment of loss. He inspected the car at the complainant’s residence. On his instructions, the complainant removed the vehicle to the workshop of Harman Motors for repairs and was assured that the repair would be done within 20-25 days. However, in spite of his repeated demand, the opposite party did not deliver the estimated costs of repairs till a complaint was filed. The complainant alleged that on inspection of the car, he found that instead of replacing its damaged shell with a new one, it was replaced with an old one. Some parts were also replaced with old ones. Harman Motors, however, denied the allegation of deficiency in service and unfair trade practice. It stated that the complaint involved complicated questions which could be decided only by a civil court. It had also pleaded that it was just an agent of the insurance company, which was to instruct it regarding action to be taken with regard to the damaged car and the extent of repairs involved and the parts required to be changed. It denied having given an assurance of delivery of the car after repairs within 20-25 days. Harman Motors further pleaded that the shell of the car was fully damaged during the accident. However, the claim for its repair was not sanctioned by the insurance company as it was not within the terms and conditions of the insurance policy. Therefore, the complainant made a request to change the shell by replacing the same with a secondhand one. United India Insurance, in its statement, pleaded that the complaint against it was without cause of action, there was no deficiency in service on its part and there were no allegations against it.
