Congress General Secretary and party candidate from Sirsa, Kumari Selja on Friday said that the government is not serious about the problems of farmers, who have become trapped by the portal game.
The "Meri Fasal Mera Byora" portal has become a major source of trouble for farmers, with 10,902 complaints pending over the last 15 days, preventing farmers from selling even their wheat crop in the markets without verification. Instead of claiming to be farmer-friendly, the government should protect their interests and resolve their issues.
In a statement, Selja said that registration on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal has been made mandatory for selling crops like mustard and wheat at MSP. During the Rabi season, registrations were made for 6,419,348 acres involving 1,103,095 farmers, of which only 6,319,060 acres were verified. She said that across the state, 50,688 farmers filed complaints regarding incorrect registrations, errors in crop names, discrepancies in area, and lack of verification, of which 10,902 complaints still remain unresolved. Due to these unresolved complaints, farmers are unable to sell their produce in the market. The districts of Bhiwani, Charkhi Dadri, Jhajjar, Palwal, and Mahendragarh have the highest number of pending complaints. Selja said that the government should prioritize addressing these farmers' issues and complaints; otherwise, the farmers are determined to teach the government a lesson in this election.
The Congress leader has written to Haryana Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini, informing him that elderly and widow pension holders are facing significant difficulties due to a change in the IFSC code by Indian Bank, which is causing unnecessary delays in the pension process. This technical issue is making it difficult for these pensioners to receive their pensions, severely affecting their livelihood. She has called for immediate resolution of this issue and the establishment of a permanent procedure to address it.
