New Delhi: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Tuesday requested Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar to extend the cut-off date for enrollment of farmers under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna (PMFBY) for the Kharif Season to August 14.
The Karnataka Chief Miniter who is in the national capital held a meeting with Tomar in the morning pertaining to this regard.
