Akali Dal hits out at Punjab govt. for delaying wheat purchase
The Hindu
‘Farmers will have to stock their harvest in fields for 10 days’
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Saturday hit out at the Congress government in Punjab for delaying the wheat procurement season by ten days to April 10, instead of April 1. Senior SAD leaders Prem Singh Chandumajra and Daljit Singh Cheema said the very fact that the State government had delayed the procurement season was proof that it was playing into the hands of the Central government. “The delay will cause hardship to farmers who will have to stock their harvested crops in the fields for ten days, besides leading to the extension of the procurement season and late sowing of the upcoming paddy crop.” Amid the surge in COVID-19 cases, the Punjab government had announced to start wheat procurement operations from April 10 this year. The decision was taken at a recently held COVID-19 review meeting, presided over by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.
