Farmers claim that the purchase of these varieties under pressure from the Mandi Committee Administration and Rice Millers is stopped. Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) also opened openly in support of farmers on this issue. Remove ad Only Read News The discussions between farmers and market officials, who lasted about an hour, failed. Boer leaders clearly said that the protest would not be ended until the government gave in writing. The district in charge of BKU Jitendra Singh Jitu said that the Pr-131 variety of Paddy is the most grown in the entire district. Last year the yield was better, so this time most farmers sowed the same seed. Now that the crop is ready, purchases are denied. It is open injustice to the farmers. The Boer leader Tika Singh said that the Mandi Committee Administration is ignoring the hard work of the farmers. Farmers have prepared the crop at full cost, but now their refusal to buy, ask questions about the government policy. He said that if the government does not offer immediate solution, the movement will further strengthen. The battle will continue at every level to give the farmers their rights. Farmers said that when they bought the seeds, they told them at no point that these varieties would not be bought. Now this decision is being made under the pressure of Rice Millers, whereby the hard work of the farmers will be wasted. Farmers claim that the officials could not call a clear government order. Right now, the farmers are at the market gate and warned them to continue the excitement to the written solution. An attempt is made to solve the problem soon by holding talks with the market officials. – Abhay Pratap Singh, SDM
