Terming it a \u201cbetrayal of our Annadatas\u201d, Kang said farmers are being coerced into purchasing unnecessary and expensive additives along with subsidized fertilizers, a malpractice that has come to light in Roopnagar district of Punjab.<\/p>\n<p>Kang has formally written to the Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Chemicals and Fertilizers, urging the establishment of a nationwide mechanism to dismantle this exploitative system. In his letter, he called for strict digital oversight of fertilizer transactions, compulsory unbundling of subsidized products, and stringent penalties including license suspension and blacklisting for offenders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not trade, it\u2019s betrayal. Our farmers, the soul of India\u2019s economy, are being exploited in broad daylight,\u201d Kang stated. He revealed that distributors in Roopnagar are forcing farmers to buy costly boosters such as Calcium Nitrate, Polyhalite, Bio Potash, and Muriate of Potash along with essential fertilizers, inflating input costs and pushing farmers into distress.<\/p>\n<p>Commending the Punjab Police\u2019s swift action in filing FIRs and arresting key perpetrators, Kang emphasized that the problem extends far beyond Punjab and reflects a \u201cnational malaise that must be rooted out through parliamentary intervention and reform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He urged the Government of India to act decisively through the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, saying, \u201cOur farmers deserve protection from such rapacious practices. It\u2019s time to restore integrity to our fertilizer supply chain and uphold our agrarian equity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kang Writes to Parliamentary Panel Chairman, Seeks Nationwide Mechanism to End Fertilizer Overpricing and Unnecessary Bundling Exploitation Punjab E News:\u00a0 Aam Aadmi Party MP from Sri Anandpur Sahib, Malvinder Singh Kang, has raised a strong demand for immediate national action against the exploitation of farmers through the forced bundling of costly \u201cboosters\u201d with essential fertilizers [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":53387,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
