**Former Haryana CM Demands Central Relief Package After Devastating Floods**

**GURUGRAM, September 10, 2025 (The Hindu)** – Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda has called upon the Central government to provide a special relief package to the state, citing widespread devastation caused by recent floods. Speaking at a press conference in Delhi on Tuesday, Hooda stated that approximately 1.4 million acres of agricultural land and over 5,200 villages have been severely impacted.

Hooda, accompanied by State Congress president Udai Bhan, criticized the Haryana government’s response, stating, “It is unfortunate that the State government has not declared Haryana a flood-affected State. The State government should have demanded a package from the Centre.”

According to Hooda, crop losses are extensive, with 1.4 million acres completely destroyed. He also noted significant damage to homes, shops, and other establishments. He argued that the compensation currently offered by the state government, ranging from ₹7,000 to ₹15,000 per acre, is insufficient and a “mockery” of farmers. Hooda is demanding compensation in the range of ₹50,000-₹60,000 per acre to adequately address the losses suffered by farmers. Udai Bhan echoed these concerns, expressing his disappointment with the state government’s handling of the crisis.
