Farmers have been finding it difficult to sell their produce in the absence of buyers.Some farmers and traders from Malerkotla had brought cucumbers and radishes to the city market, but they could not find any buyers.

They even tried to sell their produce at low prices, but to no avail. The farmers were left with two options either to spend more money to take these back or discard them here.

As they will have to spend more in taking these back and they did not have much money, they decided to feed them to cattle. They took about five tonnes of cucumber and one tonne of radish to a gaushala in the city.

Mohammed Irfan and Saddam Hussain, who took five tonnes of cucumber and one tonne of radish to cattle in the gaushala, said they were left with no choice but to feed these to cattle as no one was ready to buy their produce.
