Ground Report: Farming started across the fence on the border, farmers were allowed to go to their fields

Agriculture has begun throughout the blockage on the Indo-Pak border. After the Bahlkam attack, agriculture was stopped across the fence. Farmer Kabul Singh said in Mawa village of the Indo-Bagh border, “We are happy to have started agriculture throughout the fence.” This is a great relief because the land of many farmers is beyond the fence. Kabul Singh said, “We want to open all the gates of the village of BSF to the farmers.” So far, only one gate has been opened in our village. We thank the BSF authorities for allowing farmers to reach their land throughout the fence.

The situation has become normal on the border of India and the Pakistani border in Punjab, and farmers can go through their fields. Farmers who are in front of crops can go to farming in their fields rather than wires. Farmer Ranjit Singh, after the tension is reduced, has opened a gate for agriculture in the suburbs so that they can go to their fields throughout the fence. According to farmer Ranjit Singh, the gates have long closed after tension in both countries, but now the situation has become normal. Currently, a gate is opened, but the Mahawa village farmers are demanding that all three gates be opened.

Opened in a gate, all gates are to be opened

On the border, another farmer, Palbir Singh, said that due to tension, the mouth was closed for about a month, but it was relieved by opening. Their agriculture resumed. Now farming has begun throughout the wires. Their need is that only one gate is open, but the three gates must be opened. Kalwal Singh, a farmer from Mahawa village, said that after the Indo-Pak tension was closed on the 22nd of May, the BSF opened a gate on May 19. The farmer said that the BSF officials were not in a gate, but that all gates were open. The village of Mahawa has 107, 108 and 109 in the mouth, only one of which is opened.

Farmer Kanwal Singh said there are three gates in any village of the border and some have four gates. The government has asked to open all the gates with agricultural work. Opening a gate has provided a little relief, but all gates must be opened. He said agriculture would not happen until all the gates were opened. Nothing is going to happen from a gate. Farmers’ crop is delayed and if the mouth is closed, agriculture will be delayed.

Farming is only done when the gates are open

Farmer Harjit Singh said the same thing. The opening of a gate has provided some relief, but all the gates should be opened, he said. This will facilitate all farmers in agriculture. Farmers said their agriculture would not be quick until all the gates were opened. Farmers said the paddy season was about to begin. In such a situation, the government does not open all three gates, otherwise it will not work in a gate. A farmer said that if the gates were closed for the past 20 days, the task of turning into a tin was closed. Now after opening the gate, the tricks are made and brought from the trolleys.
