Punjab: Farmers continue burning stubble, say can't help it till state helps them -Raakhi Jagga |
-The Indian Express
Demand a compensation of Rs 5,000 per acre for damage to crop due to straws Samao/ Ralla (Mansa): Despite the state government’s awareness campaign and crackdown against burning of wheat stubble to check pollution, defiant farmers in Punjab vowed to continue the practice till the government came up with a solution. The burning of wheat stubble, which started from Aklia village in Mansa district on Sunday, continued Tuesday not only in Mansa, but also in the districts of Bathinda, Sangrur, Barnala, Fazilka, Moga, Ferozeopur. Thick smoke engulfed the Barnala-Mansa road around 10.30 am on Tuesday as farmers were busy burning their fields collectively while raising slogans of “Punjab Sarkar Murdabaad”. Though the local patwari and agriculture officer of the area were present, villagers of Ralla village in Mansa were not ready to listen. “Officials can calculate the area being set on fire, but they cannot stop us till the time they don’t give us any solution. This smoke will go up to Delhi once again,” said Inderjeet Singh, general secretary of Bharti Kisan Union (Dakaunda)’s Mansa unit. Activists of farmer unions like Bharti Kisan Union (Ugrahan), BKU (Sidhupur), BKU(Dakauda) and Punjab Kisan Union were also seen exhorting farmers for burning wheat stubble. Gurnam Singh and Bhola Singh of Punjab Kisan Union were heard saying, “We are with you. We will support you in every manner. Go ahead and burn the stubble.” Lala Singh of the same village, who had set 7 acres of his harvested wheat fields on fire to make it ready for the paddy season, said, “The little straws never get dissolved in mud even after repeated ploughing and use of rotavator.
