Chandigarh, March 14

In another setback for the state, the Food Corporation of India is proposing the revision of the specifications for foodgrain procurement, making the rules tighter by introducing changes in quality control as suggested by “some private players”.

Food panel recommendations for…

WHEAT

• Reduce moisture content from 14% to 12%; grain won’t be bought even with value cut
• Reduce foreign matter from 0.75% to 0.50%
• Reduce slightly damaged grains from 4% to 2%
• Hectolitre weight of wheat (at 75 kg per hectolitre) to be introduced for export

PADDY

• Reduce permissible limit of foreign matter from 2% to 1%
• Lower limit of damaged and discoloured grains from 5% to 3%
• Reduce admixture of lower class paddy from 6% to 5%

RICE

• Allow 20% rice refraction against 25% earlier
• Reduce limit of damaged grains by 1%
• Red grains shouldn’t be allowed
• Reduce moisture content from 15% to 14%

The proposals, among other things, include reducing the limit of moisture content in wheat from present 14 per cent to 12 per cent, reducing the incorporated semi-damaged grains in procured grains from four per cent to two per cent, and reducing the prevalence of shrivelled and broken grains from six to four per cent.

For paddy purchase, too, the specifications have been changed and strict quality control proposed with reduction in moisture content (from 17-16 per cent); reduction in permissible foreign matter; a two per cent reduction in permissible limit of damaged and discoloured grains among others.

The proposals, for uniform specifications of foodgrain for procurement under central pool, also mention that from now on there can be no prevalence of other foodgrain in wheat (generally during storage, other grains tend to get mixed) against two per cent allowed to date; no weeviled grains will be purchased and grains have to be purchased by the Centre with zero live infestation.

Procurement of wheat begins in Punjab from April 1 and 130 lakh metric tonne of wheat is targeted for government purchase.

Though apparently the Centre’s insistence on stricter quality control norms is targeted at ensuring good quality purchase for public distribution and for ensuring its export worthiness, the move is being seen by policymakers, farmers and government officials as yet another attack on the state, whose farmers have been at the forefront of the farmers’ agitation against the Centre’s three farm laws.

“Suddenly, norms are being tightened for foodgrain procurement from Punjab. Some of these rules are not feasible. Introducing the new quality control norms now, when the crop is just a month away from being harvested, is an indication that the Centre (through FCI) is shying away from purchasing grains, something the farmers have been protesting all along. Generally, there are rains near harvest time, which lead to higher moisture content. By reducing the existing limit of moisture content allowed in wheat, the government will find that a large amount of wheat is unsuitable for purchase. Where will the farmer go?” asks Jagmohan Singh Patiala, general secretary of BKU Dakaunda.

Recently, the Centre had issued instructions making it mandatory for all farmers to give details of land ownership to get MSP for wheat. This, too, has generated heat in the state where almost 45 per cent of land holdings are leased out by farmers to other cultivators.

Punjab Food and Supply Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu told The Tribune that this was an indication that FCI wanted to run away from purchasing grains. “FCI has been slowly reducing the grain purchase over the past few years. I will meet the Union Food Minister this week to resolve these issues,” he said.

Given the current level of farming technology and practices, promoting horticulture, oilseeds and pulses, for which the agro-climatic conditions of Punjab are suitable, is a viable alternative. These are not only less water-intensive but also essential for meeting the increasing requirements of nutritional security. At the same time, the increased local production of these crops would save considerable outflow of foreign exchange needed for importing them.

THE seeds of the ongoing farmers’ agitation against the farm laws were, ironically, sown with the advent of the Green Revolution in Punjab, and subsequently in Haryana and Western UP, in the 1960s and 1970s. The wheat-paddy crop rotation assiduously promoted by the Central and state governments through robust institutional support, public-funded R&D in high-yielding varieties of seeds, assured irrigation and subsidised fertilisers, ably backed by field-level extension services and the initiative of Punjabi farmers made the Green Revolution a great success, paving the way for ensuring the food security of the country. The Minimum Support Price (MSP) regime and the procurement policy of the government, together with free electricity, sustained the boom and Punjab was rightly hailed as the ‘Bread Basket of India’.

Regrettably, the consequences of the Green Revolution have been a mixed bag for the state and its economy. The highly water-intensive paddy crop was not indigenous to Punjab and its widespread cultivation necessitated intense exploitation of groundwater sources. Flood irrigation and application of chemical fertilisers incentivised by government policies aimed at enhancing production severely damaged soil and its fertility over the years. With higher and higher exploitation of groundwater, the water table in the paddy-growing areas of the state has gone down alarmingly. On account of the fear of the wrath of the farmers’ organisations and competitive vote-bank politics, successive state governments have found it impossible to do away with free power for agriculture that costs the exchequer over Rs 6,200 crore annually, crippling the finances of the state. Over the years, the productivity of wheat and paddy flattened and resulted in stagnating income for the farmers in spite of the MSP. The end of the halcyon days of the wheat-paddy crop regime is looming large, leaving farmers unsure whether agriculture can sustain their livelihood in future.

No bolt from the blue

The current crisis in agriculture is not a bolt from the blue. As early as the 1980s, serious doubts about the viability of the wheat-paddy cropping pattern had surfaced, evident from the constitution of the Johl Committees (I and II) in 1986 and 2002. The Johl Committees realised the unsustainability of the wheat-paddy cropping pattern and recommended a series of measures for restructuring and diversifying agriculture, the most significant of which was shifting 20 per cent of the area under agriculture to non-paddy crops. The committees also emphasised that commitment of the Central and state governments in terms of technological, institutional and assured price support for alternative crops was critical for achieving the desired objective. As later events proved, neither the Central nor the state governments nor the farmers realised fully the seriousness and urgency of the simmering crisis and ‘business as usual’ was allowed to continue with sporadic annual debates about the quantum of MSP without addressing the core issues arising out of overexploitation of water, declining productivity of soil and the increasing cost of production and diminishing returns.

The three laws which have earned the wrath of the farming community, especially in the Punjab-Haryana-Western UP belt, are a serious attempt at reforming the agriculture sector, which was long overdue, and open it up for free market forces. But it has misfired for many reasons. The laws do not address the main concerns of the farmers: to be assured of remunerative returns for their crops. The Centre’s unwillingness to give statutory protection to MSP is the critical stumbling block in the way of resolving the ongoing agitation.

Evolve modus vivendi

Prolonging the stir indefinitely is neither in the interests of the farmers nor of the country at large. Given the assurances of the government about the continuance of MSP and its decision to keep the farm laws in abeyance, it should be possible to evolve a modus vivendi to end the impasse and carry forward the much-needed reforms agenda through a transparent consultative process. Doubling farmers’ income within a given time frame and operationalising the statutory MSP for all 23 crops which are covered under the MSP regime through appropriate procurement mechanisms of the Central and state governments and the private trade should be the twin pillars of an overarching Central legislation which should provide for state-specific enactment to suit local conditions and requirements, especially as agriculture is on the State list and marketing of agri-produce on the Concurrent listThat continuation of MSP in its current form is not a panacea for rejuvenating agriculture and promoting the interests of farmers is beyond doubt. Perpetuating the operation of the MSP regime for wheat and paddy is not only unsustainable but also disastrous, especially for Punjab, its farmers and its agrarian economy. Punjab would turn into a desert at the current rate of exploitation of groundwater. Farmers must realise the ground reality and the state and Central governments must help them move out of the vicious cycle of wheat-paddy cropping.

Given the current level of farming technology and practices, promoting horticulture, oilseeds and pulses, for which the agro-climatic conditions of Punjab are suitable, is a viable alternative. These are not only less water-intensive but also essential for meeting the increasing requirements of nutritional security. At the same time, the increased local production of these crops would save considerable outflow of foreign exchange needed for importing them. Central and state governments should commit themselves to providing the required infrastructure, R&D support and institutional mechanisms, including market intervention, for the operationalisation of MSP for sufficiently incentivising the farmers to opt for the new cropping pattern.https://d11a87db4002e5398b414d9a0ed75dd1.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html

As its farmers have been the worst-hit on account of unsustainable wheat-paddy crop rotation and the ongoing agitation, Punjab could consider taking the lead in facilitating the process.

Farmers oppose BJP event in Narwana | Effigies of MLAs burnt in Karnal, Shahabad

Farmers protest outside the venue for a BJP meeting in Narwana on Sunday.

Hisar, March 14

The protest against BJP and JJP leaders continue in the state following the defeat of the no-confidence motion in the Assembly last week. In Jind district’s Narwana town today, farmers staged demonstration and raised anti-government slogans outside the venue for the BJP’s “prashikshan shivir” (training camp).

In view of the protest, BJP workers escorted by the police left the venue midway through the session.

The district administration deployed the paramilitary and police force to maintain law and order as farmers, including women, gathered outside a school, where the camp was organised.

The protesters alleged the BJP was trying to vitiate the social fabric by organising such meetings and inviting selected party workers.

Unwarranted

The ‘prashikshan shivir’ was a district-level training camp for workers, and not a public event. Farmers should not oppose the event meant for party workers. I visited the venue, but returned shortly in view of the protest. —Raj Kumar Mor, Jind BJP President

Farmer leader Satbir Singh said the BJP-JJP government was ignoring the interests of farmers and thus deserved no support from them in particular and the society in general.

Sunil, another farmer, said: “If BJP and JJP leaders have to organise a meeting in the protection of central and state forces, this shows the state of affairs in the state. this means they have lost people’s trust.”

Kurukshetra: Activists of the BKU (Charuni) today protested against Shahabad JJP MLA Ramkaran Kala and Sports Minister and Pehowa MLA Sandeep Singh for not supporting the no-confidence motion in the Assembly.

The farmers also burnt the effigies of BJP and JJP MLAs in Shahabad. The farmers reached outside a Gurukul at Chhapra village of Shahabad where the Sports Minister had attended an event on Saturday.

The BJP-JJP government in Haryana will on Monday introduce a Bill, which will make protesters pay for the damage caused to public property.

The Haryana Recovery of Damages to Property during Disturbance of Public Order Bill, 2021, is in line with a Supreme Court judgment on a similar matter.

No link with farm stir

The law has been in pipeline for quite some time. It has nothing to do with the farm agitation.—Anil Vij, Haryana Home Minister

Sources said the Bill was being brought in view of the ongoing farmers’ agitation against the three farm laws at Singhu and Tikri, state Home Minister Anil Vij claimed otherwise. He said the law had been in the pipeline for quite some time and it had nothing to do with the farmers’ stir.

A recent report of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) stated of 14,876 pending cases of damage to public property, nearly 6,300 pertained to Haryana, UP and Tamil Nadu. Except Haryana, the two other states already have such Acts.

Haryana has, in the recent past, witnessed violent protests, resulting in extensive damage to public property. During the 2016 Jat quota agitation, the loss was pegged at Rs 34,000 crore. Similar was the case during a protest by Dera Sachha Sauda followers in 2017.

Lucknow, March 15

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called on Monday for a dialogue between the protesting farmers and the union government.

Appealing to the agitating farmers, who have been upset over the new farm laws since they were passed in September last year, Rajnath Singh said any problem can be resolved through talks.

“The BJP’s resolve is to double the farmers’ income, and in no case will the MSP end,” he said, referring to the apprehension among farmers who have been agitating on the Delhi borders since November 26, 2020.https://fcd5f0cfbcbf98d5af2ac820b8014c31.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html

Singh, who was addressing a meeting of the BJP state executive in Lucknow, said: “We are all from farmers’ families and we are ready for amendments and solutions, whatever is needed in the interest of agriculture.” He focused on the role of grassroots workers in the Bhartiya Janata Party and said this was the only party which has not seen a split so far.

“This is not a crowd of workers aiming to gain power but a lively party which has a political vision,” he said.

Commenting on the construction of the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the minister said: “People used to say that whenever elections come, BJP leaders speak about construction of the Ram temple. It is a coincidence that when the structure fell in Ayodhya, there was a BJP government in the UP, and Kalyan Singh was the chief minister. And when the foundation stone for construction of the Ram temple was laid, there was a BJP government in UP, and Yogi Adityanath was the chief minister.” Referring to the face-off with China in Ladakh last year, the minister said, “Our Army jawans have been displayed courage and valour with patience. We do not wish to attack anyone but will not tolerate the grabbing of our land”. He further said no power on earth can stop India from becoming a global superpower.

Singh claimed that in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, the BJP will get more seats than its 2017 tally.https://fcd5f0cfbcbf98d5af2ac820b8014c31.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html

Addressing party workers, he said they cannot complain of any injustice to them by the party.

“I never made any demands and just kept working. We are lucky that we got an opportunity to become BJP workers,” he added.

Citing the example of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, “Credibility is the biggest capital in politics and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an example of this”. — IANS

BJP MP in Rajya Sabha from Haryana Lt General (retd) Dr DP Vats on Monday appealed to the inherent virtues of “benevolence and magnanimity” of a military veteran in Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh in allowing Haryana’s share of rivers’ waters.

Taking part in a discussion on the working of Jal Shakti Ministry in Rajya Sabha, Lt General Vats said that although commissions and the Supreme Court have upheld the cause of Haryana with regard to its share of 3.5 MAF of rivers’ waters through SYL from Punjab, the state was not receiving the same.

A lot many issues between Haryana and Punjab are unsettled, including the state capital.

He said that after Haryana was carved out of Punjab in 1966, it did not have any river allocated to it.

However, bulk of the allocated share of Haryana’s share of waters flow into the seas.

He said that the waters to be drawn vide SYL to Haryana are to cater to the southern region of the state, which is a home of the ex-servicemen.

He referred to iconic Major Shaitan Singh of Kumao Regiment, who led a successful counter to the aggression of the Chinese Army during 1962 Sino-India conflict at Rezang La pass along LAC at the expense of his life, was a native of the Ahirwal belt in south Haryana.

It is often the case that mortal remains of soldiers from the region often return draped in Tricolour.

“The Punjab government is headed by a military veteran. I hope that  in the tradition of benevolence and large-heartedness of a soldier, he would facilitate the flow of Haryana’s share of waters.”

He was critical of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for speaking in forked tongue on the issue of SYL and Haryana’s share of waters from Punjab.

Without naming the Delhi chief minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, he said the former is a native of Haryana.

However, during elections in Punjab he says Haryana has no share.

But in Delhi, he accuses Haryana of not providing water to Delhi, Lt General Vats added.

He further said that AAP indulges in double standards with regard to Haryana’s interest on the water issue even though two of its sitting three Rajya Sabha MPs are natives of the state.

New Delhi, March 15

Top Jaish-e-Mohammed commander Sajjad Afghani has been killed in an encounter at Rawalpora area of Shopian district in South Kashmir.

Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police Dilbag Singh confirmed that Afghani, who was instrumental in recruiting terrorists, had been killed in the encounter that entered its third day.

Another terrorist killed in the encounter has been identified as Jahangir Ahmad Wani from Rakh Narapora, who was affiliated to Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Kashmir IGP Vijay Kumar congratulated the joint force of J&K Police, Army’s 34 Rashtriya Rifles and the CRPF for eliminating Afghani during the three-day encounter that started on Saturday after inputs regarding presence of terrorists.

A joint cordon and search operation was launched by the forces on Saturday. The police said after the presence of terrorists was ascertained during the search operation, they were given an opportunity to surrender, but the terrorists fired indiscriminately at the joint search party, which retaliated, leading to an encounter.

The J&K Police said even on Sunday morning they made repeated announcements, telling the hiding terrorists to surrender but the terrorists fired at the joint search party, which led to Jahangir Ahmad Wani’s death.

One US-made M4 carbine, three magazines, 36 armor piercing rounds and Rs 9,600 were recovered from the slain militant’s possession at the encounter site, the J&K Police said, adding that three residential houses, from where the militants were firing, were damaged after security forces fired mortars.

Meanwhile, three youths and a police constable were injured in clashes as part of the three-day encounter where security forces initially fired pellets, burst teargas shells and resorted to lathicharge to disperse the stone-pelting demonstrators on Sunday.

Bathinda, March 15

Scores of labourers under the banner of the Punjab Khet Mazdoor Union staged a protest at the Dana mandi area here against the three contentious agricultural laws and recent amendments being made to labour laws.

Also, on a call given by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, a separate protest was also organised by different unions, including contractual workers from government departments, farmers and labourers in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Bathinda. Farm labourers, including men and women, held a rally in the local grain market and later carried out a protest march in the city.

Union president Zora Singh Nasrali said, “The government is betraying the country by selling out all natural resources, public and agricultural sectors to corporate houses. The atrocities against the Dalits and caste discrimination have increased manifold and the democratic rights of people have been crushed.” “New land reforms have to be introduced in order to empower landless labourers and Dalits in the country,” he added.

BKU (Ugrahan) general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokri Kalan praised the effort of farm labourers. He appealed to the youth to participate in the rally at the Sunam grain market on March 21 to pay tributes to Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev. — TNS
