Rajpura, 05/10/24:- Farmers staged a sit-in in front of the market committee office and raised slogans against the Punjab government. Slogans were raised against the Punjab government and administration for non-purchase and lifting of paddy by farmers in Asia's second largest mandi Rajpura. Neither bidding is taking place, nor sale is taking place, nor lifting is taking place. Due to which we are facing difficulties and problems.
We have reached the grain market of Rajpura to sell the crop, but how will we get money by selling the crop, on the contrary, troubles and difficulties have taken over. He said that our crop is rotting in the mandis. But these officials say that the crop should not be brought to the market right now. But there is a time for the crop in the fields also, otherwise the crop falls there and is getting spoiled in the field itself. Therefore, it is our compulsion to bring the crop to the mandis and no arrangement has been made by the government. If the government will not buy our crop and will not lift it, then we will have to intensify the struggle and today we are sitting here surrounding the market committee and giving this warning to the government.

What does the market committee secretary say
When the market committee secretary was talked to about this, he said that this purchase is not being done due to lack of space in the sellers, because the government is continuously meeting with the seller owners, as soon as a solution is found in their meeting, this purchase will be started.
We also do not want farmers to come here and get troubled. Whenever sellers are found, lifting and purchase will start
