Forced to sell paddy at a rate lower than MSP
The Morcha said that in view of the circumstances, they have been forced to sell paddy at a rate lower than MSP. That is why DC offices are being surrounded. The United Kisan Morcha has demanded the Punjab government to speed up the purchase and lifting of paddy by holding an emergency online meeting. Due to this, the Jalandhar administrative office will be surrounded by the farmers today.
The decision was taken in the emergency meeting
An emergency meeting was called by the Kisan Jatthebandi United Kisan Morcha recently. In the emergency online meeting, paddy lifting and its purchase were discussed. After which talks were also held with the Punjab government regarding this.
DAP fertilizer is not available
The members of the front said that DAP fertilizer is not available and shopkeepers are selling it by black marketing. The way the Punjab government is harassing the farmers regarding stubble is not right. FIRs are being registered against the farmers without any reason. Harinder Singh Lakhowal, Manjit Singh Dhaner, Mukesh Chandra, Boota Singh, Burj Gill, Raminder Singh Patiala, Gurmeet Singh Mahima etc. were present in the meeting.
