Punjab farmers sat on a protest near the Chandigarh-Mohali border on Tuesday after being stopped from heading to the state capital to press the government for a bonus on wheat crop and allow paddy sowing from June 10.

Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday called the agitation by state farmers as unwarranted and undesirable but said he is ready for talks.

He also asked farmer unions to join the state government's efforts to check depleting groundwater in Punjab.

Punjab farmers sat on a protest near the Chandigarh-Mohali border on Tuesday after being stopped from heading to the state capital to press the government for a bonus on wheat crop and allow paddy sowing from June 10.

The government has asked farmers not to go for paddy transplantation till June 18.

The CM said his doors are open for talks with farmers but hollow slogans cannot break his resolve to check further depletion of groundwater.

"They have a democratic right to hold a dharna but they should tell their issues," said Mr Mann while talking to reporters after returning from Delhi.

Mr Mann said the government held talks with farmers on Tuesday.

When asked that farmers are adamant on meeting him, Mr Mann said, "They can come any time. I have been calling them earlier as well." Mr Mann said the staggered programme of paddy sowing will not harm interests of farmers but it can act as a catalyst to save underground water.

"I am the son of a farmer. I know how it can happen. What is the difference between June 18 and 10," he asked.
