Victims demand compensation for losses, help in buying poisonous chemicals and paying of bank credits.

The staff of the headquarters, in the activities of which together with the local authorities the agriculture minister is involved, told the population that the financial compensation will not be issued and only those peasants will receive assistance whose harvests were insured.
