New diesel caps, bulk sale bans raise concerns for farmers as kharif sowing gathers pace

Date:

“The diesel cap is likely to raise input costs for farmers, as they may be forced to make repeated trips to fuel stations to refill tanks during peak agricultural operations. We intend to take up the matter at the All-India Farmers Organisation meeting scheduled for 17 June,” said Joginder Singh Ugrahan, president of the Bhartiya Kissan Union (Ekta Ugrahan), an organization with 200,000 farmer-members across Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.
