Harish Rao on Wednesday visited agricultural fields that were flooded following a breach to Turkavani Kunta in Narayanraopet mandal, and demanded Rs.30,000 per acre for the crop loss caused by the heavy rains and Rs.50,000 per acre as compensation where crops were damaged after silt piled up due to breaches to tanks.
