Kisan passbooks should be issued to farmers

The wheat begun arriving in the grain markets of the state from April 1. It is now the responsibility of the BJP-JJP coalition government to make all necessary arrangements, including the purchase, timely lifting and payment of wheat throughout the month, to address every concern of the farmers. The farmers are facing many difficulties while registering details of their crops on the "Meri Fasal, Mera Byora" portal, while bringing the crops to the mandis, getting gate pass for entering into mandi and selling them on time. Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar must find a permanent solution to all problems of the farmers, the Haryana government should issue "Kisan Passbooks" bearing permanent account number to the every farmer of the state with complete details.

Residents face water crisis in Bhiwani

Residents of Sector 13 in Bhiwani have been facing water crisis for many days, but the district authorities are looking the other way. We have taken up the matter with the district administration officials on several occasions. The water supply to around 100 houses from house number 1,826 to 1,934 is particularly affected due to the problem. Two years ago, the Deputy Commissioner had directed the authorities concerned to lay a new water pipeline for these houses. However, the authorities concerned are not taking any interest to redress the problem.

Ease Traffic near Ambala Manav Chowk

The situation at Manav Chowk in front of HDFC Bank, Ambala City, is chaotic. Umpteen lines of parked bikes and other four-wheelers, including cars and tractors, have led to congestion. Next to it after one private establishment another bank PNB exists where number of parked vehicle is no less making the lives of general public a hell. Some time it becomes very embarrassing for old people and women to cross the road. Adding to the woes of people is the renovation of Manav Chowk, which is in progress for the last many months. I hope the police and Municipal Corporation takes cognisance of the issue and eases out the congestion.

Preparations for wheat procurement only on paper in Narwana

Government officials, as usual, announced that all necessary arrangements for the smooth procurement of wheat has been made at all mandis. Whereas, in reality, it is in a shambles. In Narwana, the market yards are full of trash and most of the roads are potholed. There are no arrangements of toilets and drinking water. The weighbridges are lying defunct. The Kisan Bhawan meant for farmers has been usurped by the staff. In villages, the condition of the purchase centres are pitiable as there is no boundary walls and pucca floors for unloading the crops. At night, in the absence of flood lighting, anti-social elements become active and steal filled up bags. The administration must ensure proper facilities before the procurement starts.
