Farmers protest unavailability of gunny bags
From Our Correspondent
BAHAWALPUR: Hundreds of wheat growers Monday staged a protest demonstration outside a wheat procurement centre at Head Rajkan against unavailability of gunny bags.
The farmers blocked the Head Rajkan-Yazman and Head Rajkan-Dera Nawab Sahib roads for many hours and urged the government to issue immediate directions for the procurement centres staff to treat farmers with respect.
The growers accused the Punjab government of pursuing poor wheat procurement policy, saying that almost 12 days had passed yet growers were waiting for gunny bags.
The farmers also staged a demonstration at Dera Bakha, Israni and many other centres for immediate release of bags.
