If you look at the present time, it is raining a lot these days and especially in the hilly areas. Even though people from other places apart from Delhi-NCR are getting relief from the heat due to rain in the lower areas, but this rain causes landslides and floods. There is a severe outbreak of rain in areas like Delhi to Kerala, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat. At the same time, you must have seen that when it rains, people's houses and shops get washed away in many places. In such a situation, the government gives compensation to these people, but do you know how you can get it and what has to be done for this? Maybe not, but you can know about it here. So let's know...

What can you do to get compensation?

Actually, if someone's shop or house gets washed away due to rain, then in such a situation he is given compensation by the government. For this, you have to give information in the Municipal Council or Panchayat in your area's municipality. Then your complaint is sent to the district office i.e. the collector by the concerned officials and the collector works to convey your matter to the government.

If there is a situation like rain or flood at any place and it causes any damage, then the local administration there surveys the damage. For this, photos are clicked and videography is also done. Then all the information is collected and sent to the officials.

The damage caused by any natural disaster is assessed and the responsibility for this lies with the district administration. The District Collector, along with the officials, assesses the damage caused in the entire district. Then a final report is prepared and sent to the state government, after which the state government gives compensation.

How much compensation is received?
When the complete report of the damage caused by rain and landslides reaches the government, then the government announces compensation. The state government gives this entire compensation from its relief fund. In this, there is a provision to give compensation according to the amount of loss suffered by the family.
