Compensation demand

They are demanding a payment of Rs 7.25 crore as compensation for damage to their farmland caused by leakage in an ioc pipeline.
The farmers are Chhaganbhai Naranbhai, Dhanjibhai Nathabhai, Damjibhai, Virjibhai, Jinabhai and Vallabhbhai. They have alleged that they could not cultivate the rabi and kharif crop on around 135 hectares of the agricultural land because the leakage had rendered the land useless.
