&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Panchayats and labour workforce unions have openly traded barbs over a move to cap paddy transplant wages in several villages.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chandigarh: &amp;ldquo;&lt;/em&gt;This time paddy transplant rates in our village will not be more than Rs 2,700 per acre. If anyone pays more than what is decided, he will be fined Rs 5,000,&amp;rdquo; said an elderly man, as he addressed a gathering in Gharyala Kurd village in Punjab&amp;rsquo;s Taran Taran district, approximately 50 kilometres from Amritsar, in the presence of the sarpanch, Sukha Singh.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;He went on to say that if the village labour workforce tried to oppose it, the entire village would support each other. &amp;ldquo;First they should complete transplantation in our village and then they are free to work elsewhere,&amp;rdquo; he added&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Tarsem Peter, the president of the Punjab Pendu Mazdoor Union, who shared the video of the man in Gharyala Kurd village via a Facebook post on Sunday told The Wire, &amp;ldquo;How can the panchayat force labourers to work only in their village first? Can anyone also guarantee enough work for them? Why is the local administration and state government silent? It is nothing but naked faced bonded labour that is not acceptable to us.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Owing to the labour shortage in Punjab, prompted by the mass exodus of migrant workers who went back to their native states after the coronavirus-induced lockdown led to job losses, the paddy sowing season that officially begins from June 10 faces an unprecedented crisis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While the number of migrants who left the state on foot is unknown, a state government media release on May 29 said that 4.84 lakh migrant workers had been sent to their native states through 375 special trains.&lt;/p&gt;

Punjab: Labour Shortage in Lockdown Reveals Fissures in Farm Economy Ahead of Paddy Sowing Season -Vivek Gupta

-TheWire.in Panchayats and labour workforce unions have openly traded barbs over a move to cap paddy transplant wages in several villages. Chandigarh: “This time paddy transplant rates in our village will not be more than Rs 2,700 per acre. If anyone pays more than what is decided, he will be fined Rs 5,000,” said an elderly man, as he addressed a gathering in Gharyala Kurd village in Punjab’s Taran Taran district, approximately 50 kilometres from Amritsar, in the presence of the sarpanch, Sukha Singh. He went on to say that if the village labour workforce tried to oppose it, the entire village would support each other. “First they should complete transplantation in our village and then they are free to work elsewhere,” he added Tarsem Peter, the president of the Punjab Pendu Mazdoor Union, who shared the video of the man in Gharyala Kurd village via a Facebook post on Sunday told The Wire, “How can the panchayat force labourers to work only in their village first? Can anyone also guarantee enough work for them? Why is the local administration and state government silent? It is nothing but naked faced bonded labour that is not acceptable to us.” Owing to the labour shortage in Punjab, prompted by the mass exodus of migrant workers who went back to their native states after the coronavirus-induced lockdown led to job losses, the paddy sowing season that officially begins from June 10 faces an unprecedented crisis. While the number of migrants who left the state on foot is unknown, a state government media release on May 29 said that 4.84 lakh migrant workers had been sent to their native states through 375 special trains.
