Sukhbir urges PM to give bonus to farmers to delay delivery of wheat to govt agencies

Chandigarh, Apr 8 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to incentivize farmers for delaying delivery of wheat to government agencies by paying a bonus to them even as he called for a package for the industry, facilitation to labour and augmentation of health facilities in Punjab to combat COVID-19 effectively.
Mr Badal, who participated in the All-Party meeting held by the Prime Minister through video conferencing facility, appreciated the bold and decisive actions of the PM which he said had won all round praise from the people.
Speaking about various issues, the SAD chief said there was an urgent need to reduce pressure on Mandis in the State during the forthcoming wheat procurement season as large congregations could put the entire State at risk to COVID-19 infections.
