Punjab govt appeals to farmers to relax ongoing Rail Roko agitation

Chandigarh, Oct 9 (UNI) The Punjab government has appealed to the farmers to relax their ongoing Rail Roko agitation in the larger interest of the farming community as it has severely impacted the Power, Urea/DAP supply and movement of foodgrains.
According to an official spokesperson, the farmers have been requested to allow the goods trains to pass through to meet critical needs so as to ensure the movement of food grains, supply of coal and Urea/DAP through special rakes in the state.
He said that the prolonged Rail Roko agitation could further aggravate the situation thereby jeopardizing the interests of farmers, adding that the erratic power supply due to non-availability of coal and shortage of Urea/DAP could badly hit the sowing prospects of Wheat during the Rabi season 2020-21 resulting in low yield of the crop.
