The Chief Minister mentioned that his government had taken several path breaking initiatives to provide subsidised farm equipment and agro-machinery for in-situ management of paddy straw. Under this programme, the Agriculture department has so far distributed 2149 Rotary tillers, 2174 happy seeders, 192 paddy chopper combo, 1047 paddy straw mulcher, 1052 MB Plough and 1148 Zero Till Drill machines to prevent stubble burning.
Chiding the Delhi Government, he asked how Punjab could be responsible for all the pollution in the national capital when there was no such pollution in Chandigarh from where it crosses over to Delhi. These leaders should refrain from indulging in blame game and politicking over such sensitive issues and should rather suggest some concrete solutions to tackle this problem, he added.
In his address, Cooperation Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa blamed the previous regime of SAD-BJP for destroying all the cooperative institutions for their vested interests, which had a glorious legacy spanning over 65 years . He complimented the initiative taken by the Chief Minister to revive these cooperative institutions, specially Milkfed, Markfed and Sugarfed through modernisation and upgradation of these plants.
