Farmers offer thieves UPI payments to spare tubewell motors
After dozens of tubewell motors vanished in a single night, Punjab farmers came up with an unusual solution: asking thieves to take digital payments instead.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hits out at the BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the contentious agricultural bills on Sunday as he kick-started a three-day tractor rally to mark the protest.
He declared that the centre’s only aim was to destroy the pillars that supported India’s farmers – government procurement of food grains, MSP and government-controlled wholesale markets.
