As protests against agricultural laws continue at Delhi’s borders, farmers from the national capital say a crucial document they need to get government subsidies, loans and compensation has not been issued to them for at least two years.
In October, Deepak Yadav (25) wanted to apply for the Centre’s 50% subsidy on a ‘happy seeder’ machine worth Rs 2.10 lakh, which would have been used to harvest rice crop and sow wheat in his farmland in southwest Delhi’s Jhuljhuli village.
