Jammu Apr 28: Demanding package for the farmers of J&K from the govt. of JK UT & Center goverment. Today Young Panther Leader, Partap Singh Jamwal on saturday said that the government should work out ways to procure wheat crop yields. Crops are standing in the fields whereas the weather is changing. He said that the shortage of combine machines and labourers has added to the woes of farmers during lockdown.
Partap Singh said that farmers have suffered a lot due to unseasonal rains and later lockdown. He said labour cost has increased due to shortage of labourers. Prices of every farm related equipments and other necessary items have increased many fold. Delay in procurement of crop yields will result into delay in its payment to the farmers. farmers who have borrowed or have taken loans would face difficulty to survive. Currently, farmers will first have to spend money to take their crop for storage and then they will have to spend extra to sell it. This will cost farmers double both in terms of the hard work and money.
Partap Singh said the government should needs to ensure that people especially poor and farmers are benefited from schemes announced by the State government. He Said that during this time, government should announce ‘special bonus’ for farmers.
Partap Singh appeal to the State government that there should be uniformity in procurement and they should work out a plan to address the concerns of the farmers immediately.
