Punjab Farmers Protest

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on May 17, asked the farm unions to stop 'mere sloganeering' and join hands with the state government for checking the depleting water table. Mann categorically said that his doors are open for talks with the farmers but hollow slogans can't break his firm resolution to check the further depletion of water table. Notably, he announced the purchasing of Basmati and Moongi Crop on MSP.
