21-day lockdown: Government has given special exemption to farmers

At this time, the whole world is troubled by the increasing cases of the coronavirus. In India also, the central government has imposed a 21-day nationwide lockdown amid growing infection of the virus. This means that all offices, markets, means of transport etc. will be closed in the entire country for 21 days. This news created a situation of confusion among Indian farmers. But the government has ended this confusion by giving special exemption for the farmers even in the lockdown.

Actually, the farmers have to purchase many agricultural products like fertilizer and seeds for their crops. In such a situation, if they wouldn’t have got these products due to lockdown, then they would have to face a lot of trouble. Keeping in mind these problems of the farmers, the government has announced a discount for farmers on the purchase of products like seeds and fertilizers. This means that the farmers will be able to meet their agricultural requirements easily, even during the lockdown period.
