Punjab Government would soon come out with a policy to fix accountability of manufacturing units for any adulteration in agri-inputs like seeds, pesticides, feed, fertilizers, among other things. Under the proposed policy, the retailers and shopkeepers would be excluded out of apprehensions of any conviction besides saving the farmers from huge losses.
The announcement was made by Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal on Monday while launching Rahat Scheme for traders at Samana in Patiala district.
Sukhbir said that the sole motto of this first of its own kind scheme in the country was to make all trades hassle and tension free and it has been implemented to provide a big relief to the retailers and traders.
“Earnest desire of SAD-BJP Government is to create congenial atmosphere in trading that’s why Punjab is contemplating to launch new policy for sale of agricultural inputs in consonance with Rahat Scheme for the welfare of traders and retailers community,” he added.
