Punjab Farmers Face Wheat Sowing Deadline

The wheat sowing season in Punjab is underway, but farmers are facing a race against time as 54% of the fields remain unsown. This delay in sowing is raising concerns about the state's wheat production, which is a crucial component of India's national food security. Farmers are attributing the delay to various factors, including late arrival of monsoon rains and the ongoing shortage of irrigation water. The Punjab government has urged farmers to expedite the sowing process and assured them of support in overcoming the challenges.
