COAL SUPPLY FROM PUNJAB\u2019s ALLOCATED MINE IN JHARKHAND TO\u00a0 BE RESUMED SOON TO ENSURE NORMAL POWER SUPPLY IN STATE<\/p>\n
\n
Satauj (Sangrur), May 3 (Subhash Bharti\/ Makhan Verma) :\u00a0Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, on Tuesday, kick started the ambitious drive, Direct Sowing of Rice (DSR), which promotes cultivation of paddy by using lesser amount of water from his native village Satauj.<\/p>\n
\n
Exhorting the farmers of his native village to go for this new technique of paddy sowing in a big way , the CM said that since the residents of Punjab have given a massive mandate to form\u00a0AAP Government in the state and now it was our bounden duty to take path breaking initiatives like DSR and several more for state\u2019s overall development and prosperity, for which people\u2019s wholehearted cooperation and support is immensely needed .<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 Showing deep concern\u00a0 over the fast depleting groundwater\u00a0 at the alarming level, Bhagwant Mann said it is the\u00a0 need of\u00a0 hour to motivate our farmers to switch over from traditional paddy transplantation to the advanced technology of DSR.\u00a0\u00a0 Moreover, it is a high time to adopt an alternate technique for paddy cultivation thus saving the much scarce and precious natural resource water as almost half of the land being cultivated by the farmers and they could play a pivotal role in this regard.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cTo promote the DSR technology , our government has also decided to provide financial assistance of Rs. 1500 per acre\u00a0 to the farmers who adopt this water saving method of cultivating paddy,\u201d CM Bhagwant Mann said.<\/p>\n
\n
Calling upon the farmers of Satauj, Mann said that they will have to set an example for the entire Punjab by sowing paddy with DSR method on maximum area of land.<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0To encourage crop diversification in Punjab, the CM said that their government will provide MSP on alternative crops including maize, pulse and bajra and will sell the produce of these crops on their own responsibility.<\/p>\n
\n
The CM also assured the farmers that during the tenure of their government, they will be getting superior quality of fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides.<\/p>\n
To ease the power supply situation in the state, Bhagwant Mann said that there will be no problem of electricity supply as their government is going to resume mining of coal from Punjab\u2019s allotted mine in Jharkhand which was shut since 2015. He pointed out further that with un-interrupted supply of coal, there will be normal supply of power for agriculture, domestic and industrial sector, as well.<\/p>\n
