Capt Amarinder reaches out to farmers in Fazilka

Amarinder had reached here to see the damage to cotton crop caused by the white fly pest, when the farmers made a beeline to narrate their woes. Farmers stated that while the damaged crop had no weight (because no flowering had occurred), the early varieties that had reached the markets were also not getting renumerative prices.

“Cotton crop has neither weight nor rates. Farmers are in distress and CM is indifferent to everything,” said CLP leader and Fazilka MLA Sunil Jakhar said.
