Agartala: Nov 07: An organizational convention of the All India Krishak Sabha State Committee was held at Agartala Town Hall on Sunday. The convention adopted the future programme and strategy of the movement. The state secretary of the organization Pabitra Kar told a press conference at the office of the All India Farmers All State Committee on Monday. He said the All India Farmers Conference will be held in Kerala from December 13 to 16. A delegation from Tripura will participate in the conference.
Like the rest of the country, the condition of the farmers in Tripura state is dire. Farmers are deprived of various government facilities. 80 percent of irrigation machines are broken. 60 percent of the land could not produce crops due to lack of government facilities. Farmers are suffering from rice cultivation due to rats and birds. And the past few days have seen farmers hit by not being able to sell the government’s paddy at the right time. Now is the prime time to buy paddy. If a positive decision is not taken from the department to buy paddy in the next few days, the farmers will be forced to approach and establishment of official paddy procurement centers in tribal areas. If not, he expressed the opinion that the impact on the farmers would be severe.
He also said that agriculture and rubber farmers of Tripura state are also badly affected. The government is not paying any attention to them. But if it continues like this, it has been decided to call off the larger movement of the next day, he said. The flag will be hoisted on the occasion of flag hoisting program across the country on November 15. On the occasion of the second year of the farmers’ movement, the Raj Bhawan Abhiyan will be held on November 26. Deputations will be provided to the Governor through Sub-Divisional Governors from various Sub-Divisions. The demand will be immediate withdrawal of false cases during farmers’ agitation in Delhi and strict punishment for those accused of killing farmers and journalists in Uttar Pradesh. He also announced that farmers will play a major role in the political struggle in the upcoming assembly elections. Pabitra Kar said that he will overthrow the BJP government by creating organizations in every booth.
