Poor farmers in Punjab throwing potatoes on streets because of falling potato prices. Potato in Punjab at present is fetching Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 per kg. Cold storage owners are also refusing to store the crop, anticipating that farmers would not pick crop in the wake of lesser prices. Still no word by so called efficacious government on MSP of potato & freight subsidy on its export whereas farmers are committing suicide.
Hit by potato glut, debt-ridden farmer commits suicide
What a shame for country despite of bumper crops millions of Indians are still suffering from starvation & malnutrition.
