Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab Mohsin Naqvi has said that farmers should not sell their cotton for less than 8500 rupees per maund.
In this regard, Mohsin Naqvi has issued a message on social media that the Secretary Agriculture and Divisional Commissioners should implement the support price of cotton.
Mohsin Naqvi says that responsible officers should ensure this by sitting with all the stakeholders.
It should be noted that the cotton crop has reached the market in Bahalangar, but due to not getting adequate rate of cotton in the market, the farmers have faced severe difficulties.
This time the government has fixed the rate of cotton at 8500 rupees, but no trader in the market is ready to buy cotton at the rate fixed by the government.
