When Sindagi MLA Ramesh Bhusanur queried the status of compensation paid to the farmers, an agriculture department official said: "The amount was credited to 22 students of Mulsavalagi village in Sindagi taluk."
District minister MB Patil was understandably miffed with the mix-up. He asked the sub-division assistant commissioner to probe if the funds were being misappropriated and submit a report.
Bhusanur said the issue had come to his notice one- and-a-half months ago.
"Sindagi MLA has raised concerns over the possibility of funds for crop loss having been misappropriated. I will go through the records and see what has transpired." joint director of the agricultural department, Vijayapura, Manjunath said.
