The district administration has started the process to provide financial assistance to help small farmers manage crop residue in their paddy fields. Deputy Commissioner Sakshi Sawhney visited Dharar village near Jandiala in this regard and presented cheques to farmers.

The DC also appreciated the farmers for shunning the harmful practice of burning crop residue. She said by not setting the residue on fire, the farmers are also helping protect several insects which are helpful for the crops.

Chief Agriculture Officer Tajinder Singh said the DC had earlier announced to help 100 small farmers who do not have means or resources for management of crop residue. He said financial assistance of Rs 1,000 per acre is being given to these farmers.
