Vegetable growers in Punjab are facing a huge trouble in the wake of a Covid-induced lockdown.
Farmers of Bhainibagha village in Mansa district have cultivated capsicum on 800 acres, but are now unable to sell it. Traders from other states have stopped visiting their farms due to which their produce has started rotting. Left with no option, many farmers have started dumping their damaged produce in the fields or on roads.
Farmers Naib Singh and Satnam Singh say they have grown capsicum this year, but are now unable to sell it due to which the produce has started rotting.
