3 years in prison for selling fake seeds and pesticides, a fine of 5 lakhs, government big decision
The Haryana government has taken an important and tough step for the safety of the farmers. Strict measures are now being taken against companies and sellers who sell fake seeds and pesticides in the state. According to this decision, if an organization or seller is found guilty, he will have to pay a fine of Rs.
Punish and fine under the new law
In the Legislative Assembly, the Haryana government introduced the Seed (Haryana Amendment) Act and the Haryana Amendment (Haryana Amendment) Bill. Under this, if a seed and pesticide manufacturer is accused, then the crime will be punished for two years and fined up to Rs. If the company is found guilty again, it will be a fine of up to three years and Rs 5 lakh.
At the same time, if a shopkeeper first found guilty, he would pay a fine of 6 months to 1 year and a fine of Rs 50,000. If caught for a second time, he will pay a fine of up to two years and up to two lakh rupees.
Farmers suffer heavy losses
The production and sale of fake and adulterated seeds in Haryana has increased significantly over the past few years. Most seed producers and vendors sell good seeds with poor or low quality seeds, due to huge losses in the crop. Fake pesticides have adverse effects on crops, which can lead to a decrease in agricultural productivity and farmers have to face the financial crisis.
Old system errors
According to the previous law, if someone was found guilty, he was fined up to Rs 500 and was fined for a second time, up to six months in prison or Rs 1000. There are many flaws in this system, these companies and sellers are taking advantage of. However, now there is a tough punishment and a fine clause after the new law, thereby confirming the rights of farmers and helping to prevent the sale of fake seeds and pesticides.
Why is this stage required?
This step is taken to protect farmers from fake seeds and pesticides. Agriculture is part of an important economy in the state of Haryana, and the farmers of this state depend on agriculture for their lives. The sale of fake seeds and pesticides has caused huge risks to farmers, and now the government has created stringent laws to solve this problem. It promotes agricultural productivity and farmers are safe.
The Haryana government’s decision to take stringent measures on selling fake seeds and pesticides is an important step in the development of farmers and agriculture. Under the new laws, the accused will now be severe punishment and fine, which can provide a major relief for farmers. This decision improves the agriculture sector in the state and the farmers will get the right result of their hard work.
