ATTOCK, Nov 13 (DNA): Chairman Numerdar Association Tehsil Pindi Gheb Malik Imtiaz Khan has said that Pindi Gheb Numerdar Association fully supports the demands of the farmers. Fertilizer and seed rates should be reduced.
He expressed these views while addressing a meeting held at Pakistan Kisan Ittehad Tehsil Pindi Gheb in Khaur Company.
Chairman Tehsil Numerdar Association said that Schemes from the Department of Agriculture and other institutions should be made easier for farmers, including the abolition of mixed fertilizers and commission from farmers in the markets. Government should provide ample funds for the welfare of the farmers and also provide them with financial assistance on easy terms for the convenience of the farmers So that the economic condition of the farmers can be improved and the country can be self-sufficient in terms of food.
He said that the government should pay special attention to the agriculture sector. The government should provide relief to farmers regarding wheat cultivation. Fertilizer prices should be reduced. The farmer, who is the backbone of the economy, has been displaced. If farmers sell wheat, the rate is Rs 2500 and if they buy it for seeds, the same wheat becomes Rs 6200. The government is creating this contradiction instead of preventing it, he added.
He said that agriculture is the most important component of our country’s economy and the country’s development is linked to its development. Therefore, it is important that the government encourages the people associated with this sector so that the country can be prosperous.
Malik Imtiaz Khan said that Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif should take notice of the difficulties faced by the farmers and take steps to provide relief to the farmers. The government should solve the problems faced by the farmers immediately, he added. – DNA
