The protest of the farmers of Haryana on the demand of paddy procurement has ended. With this, traffic has resumed on the Delhi-Ambala National Highway, which was closed for about 21 hours. It is reported that the government has gone soft on the demands of the farmers. The special thing is that due to this block, there was a huge traffic problem around Kurukshetra. The official procurement of paddy will start from October 1.
Gurnam Singh Chadhuni of Bhartiya Kisan Union-Chaduni says that the state has informed that it will start removing paddy kept in grain markets. He said that as announced earlier, the work on the papers will be done on October 1. BKU-C was leading the farmers’ protest. Chadhuni says where will he store it now, it is his headache.
A petition was filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court against the blocking of National Highway 44. During the hearing of the petition, the court directed to keep the highway open to improve the traffic system. The High Court had also asked the Haryana Chief Secretary to file a report regarding the compliance of the directions.
Kurukshetra SP Surendra Singh Bhoria said that all the diversions have been removed and now the traffic has started. We have settled the matter in a friendly manner with the farmers. The protesting farmers feared that rain and moisture would spoil the grain and they did not have a place to store them. In such a situation, the government should extend the date of purchase.
