The Punjab government has fixed June 10 for the sowing of paddy, but in the villages of Mansa the farmers are preparing the fields by sowing paddy cheese. The farmers said that due to the shortage of migrant labor, it would be difficult for them to sow paddy together from June 10, so they were demanding the government to start sowing paddy from June 1.
The Punjab Government has announced to start paddy sowing in the state from June 10 to save ground water. Chief Agriculture Officer Dr. Manjit Singh said that the date of June 20 for paddy sowing was recommended by the Agriculture University, but on the demand of the farmers, the government has fixed June 10 for paddy sowing last year and this year. He said that sowing of paddy before 10th June was detrimental to the declining water level and farmers should sow paddy from 10th June onwards.
The farmers were protesting against the Punjab government's decision to start paddy sowing from June 10 and demanded to start paddy sowing from June 1. Farmers said that it was wrong for the government to ban farmers from sowing crops in their own fields. They said that earlier when the farmers were allowed to sow paddy as per their whim, it was not difficult for them to sell their produce in the Mandis.
hey said that now that the farmers would have to sow paddy on time, it would be difficult for the Mandis due to moisture in the paddy after the ripening of the crop. Furthermore, they said that this time again due to the lockdown due to shortage of labor it would be difficult for the farmers to sow paddy. Therefore, the government should allow the farmers to sow paddy from June 1, otherwise the Kisan Union will stand with the farmers and get them to sow paddy.
