Sangrur, October 15
After getting complaints of incorrect assessment of pink bollworm-affected cotton, Sunam Congress leaders visited various fields in their area and promised to take up the matter with the government. Farmers have also demanded a quick release of financial aid as they alleged officials concerned were not taking the issue seriously.
“On Friday, I visited a pink bollworm-hit filed in Togawal and other villages. Though officials have been visiting various villages to help farmers, still there are many who are demanding a quick release of financial aid and they are not satisfied with present assessment,” said Daman Thind Bajwa, Sunam halqa incharge of Congress.
She along with Cheema Market Committee chairman Naveep Singh and other Congress leaders met farmers and took direct feedback after visiting their fields.
“We will take up the matter raised by farmers with senior authorities at the earliest.” said Daman. — TNS
