In Tarkhan Majra village of Fatehgarh Sahib, Jaswant Singh has sown seedlings for 200 acres. We have distributed seedlings for 30 acres so far,” he said. “Farmers from Narsoli, Tajalpur and Dabachaba villages have come to us. Jaskaran Singh of Kalwanu village in Patiala said as water didn’t entered his fields, he immediately prepared paddy nursery for 100 acres, which would be distributed for free. We have recommended PR 126 variety (non-basmati), PUSA 1509, PUSA 1847 and PUSA 1121 (basmati) varieties for affected areas.” Gurvinder Singh, Director, Agriculture Department, said, “The paddy has to be re-sown. We cannot let this happen,” is a common answer by those who have stood up to help others.Īccording to the Agriculture Department, paddy transplanted on 2.59 lakh acres has been completely ruined. “How can we make a profit from the misery of our fellow farmers? The natural disaster will hit thousands of farmers and their families financially. These seedlings will be given free of cost. These farmers have sown paddy seedlings for their brethren whose crops got submerged due to the flooding. Better together- that’s the new anthem of farmers who have been spared of the destruction caused by the raging rivers in several parts of the state.
