Hoshiarpur:- The Aam Aadmi Party government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann is committed to providing proper management to the commission agents and farmers who bring their produce to the markets across the state. In line with this commitment, the construction of a shed and a permanent shed has been started at Dihana Mandi located in Chabbewal assembly constituency as per the demands of the farmers and commission agents. The government will spend Rs 60 lakh on this project.
MLA from Chabbewal assembly constituency Dr. Ishank Kumar made this announcement while laying the foundation stone of the development project. He further said that Lok Sabha member from Hoshiarpur Dr. Raj Kumar is making a significant contribution to the development works being done in Chabbewal district and has spent crores of rupees from his parliamentary fund on development projects so far.
Dr. Ishank said that the construction of this big shed will not only help the farmers in managing their crops but also provide relief to the commission agents. He further said that farmers and commission agents used to face difficulties due to bad weather when the crops arrived in the mandi, but in future this problem will be solved permanently. He said that permanent sheds and sheds are a necessity in every mandi and to fulfill this need, the Punjab government is doing development work in all the mandis across the state.
MLA Chabbewal said that farmers and commission agents are an important part of our society. While the farmers grow the crops and bring them to the mandis, the commission agents buy the crops of the farmers and distribute them to the mandis across the country. Therefore, the Punjab government is giving priority to the problems of these communities. He further said that if required, development work will also be done in other small and big mandis within the Chabbewal constituency.
