Now the farmers’ associations have also opposed the sowing of paddy, said CM.
The decision taken by the Punjab government to grow rice seeds has moved. Chief Minister Bhagwant Man has already warned experts and now farmers’ organizations have come up against the decision. Further action by the Punjab government’s action of sowing the paddy is opposed to agricultural professionals, environmental activities and agricultural economists and many farmer groups. Farmers’ unions have expressed concern over the rapid decline in the state.
The decision to sow rice on June 1
In Punjab, the ruling AAM Aadmi Party (AAP) government has decided to extend the date of paddy from June 15 to June 1. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has filed an Advocate HC Aurora petition for this decision. According to the newspaper The Tribune, the petition has been ordered to order the state government against the implementation of the decision. The latest data of the Central Ground Water Board shows that the water level has declined 0-2 meters in the area of 59.17 percent. The area of 0.08 percent saw a decline of 2-4 meters and saw a decline in less than 4 meters less than 1 percent. These figures were released in January this year.
Groundwater has declined rapidly
According to United Kisan Morcha senior leader Balbir Singh Rajeval, the lack of groundwater is a big challenge to the state agricultural economy. According to Rajeval, with the current rate of reducing groundwater, other water resources will dry out within a year. Many studies have also shown that the level of lead and arsenic level in other sources is higher than the valid level, which makes it impossible for drinking or use in agriculture. The results of the decision to make rice seeds prematurely are very large. This is a small -sight approach of the government.
The government should wait until June 10
Union General Secretary Jagmohan Singh Patiala said the Indian Kisan would not benefit the farmers. They say that when governments are in power for three years, they will make irrational and popular decisions without realizing how much the state will suffer from the state and the agricultural economy in the future. SKM (non -political) leader Saravan Singh Nandkar said that there is a demand for the hour to create a policy for agricultural diversity, thereby removing farmers from more water -consuming rice crop.
