Anil Kumar, the district food and supplies controller (DFSC), said, “The government is paid after reaching the shares of wheat in the government codeons. We have taken about 84 percent of wheat and the remaining lift is expected to be completed in a few days. After this, the trapped allowances will be completed. However, farmers and trade unions refuse to accept this purity.
Economic crisis
PKU (Sir Sotu Ram) spokesperson Bahadur Mehla said the government has promised to pay a timely payment, but has not paid after being issued in the warehouse. He said this was the responsibility of traffic, workers or storage agencies. In such a situation, farmers should not be disturbed. Officials mislead the farmers by connecting the fee to the lifting. The fee must be done immediately. Mehla said the delay faces severe financial pressure on farmers. They need immediate money to prepare for their next crop rotation.
