Farmers are facing a range of difficulties due to the ongoing nationwide lockdown due to the Corona crisis. Actually the present time is of harvesting of Rabi crops and government procurement, but during the lockdown on this issue, the government has taken the initiative to give a big relief to the farmers.
To tackle this problem, the Punjab government has taken an important decision. The Punjab government is preparing to go to the villages to purchase crops to prevent congestion in the mandis during the procurement of rabi crops. During this time, priority will be given to those villages which are located at a distance of about 1 to 2 km from the mandis.
Officers of Agriculture and Food Departments have been instructed by the Punjab Government to soon find a way to go to the farmers of the villages and buy wheat. It has been suggested to send workers to farmers’ homes to help the farmers of the villages located away from the mandis.
