Farmers also plan to protest in front of Central government and BJP leaders’ offices - The Hindu
Farmers also plan to protest in front of Central government and BJP leaders’ offices - The Hindu× Commencement of rabi procurement is just a week away (expected April 10), but no end is in sight to the stand-off between the Centre and the Punjab government over direct payments for the foodgrains procured. Ironically, nobody, including farmers who are ostensibly the beneficiaries of the direct money transfer, is happy with the move.
The Ministry of Consumer Affair, Food and Public Distribution had informed the Punjab government that DBT to farmers is mandatory for the coming rabi wheat procurement season. However, the State has refused to implement it, and has sought appointment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the issue and defer the scheme for at least one year.

Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Thursday assured the arhtiyas of his government’s full support in the wake of the Centre’s latest directive ruling out any further relaxation to the state on the issue of Direct Bank Transfer (DBT) to farmers against payment for grain procurement.
“My doors are open for you,” the Chief Minister told the state’s Arhtiyas during a virtual meeting, adding that his government would continue to stand with them and fight for them against the central government’s move to destroy the established system of making payments to farmers through them.
