Muzaffarnagar: Farmers visiting the government seed depot in Charathawal are facing considerable difficulties, with many being turned away without seeds due to a reported machine breakdown.
A large number of farmers have been reaching the depot to purchase seeds, but despite waiting for hours, several are returning empty-handed. Officials present at the facility have reportedly cited a malfunctioning machine as the reason for their inability to distribute seeds.
Farmers Concerned Over Delays During Sowing Season
Farmers said valuable time during the agricultural season is passing while they continue making repeated visits to the government depot in search of seeds. The delay in supply has added to their difficulties, particularly as timely availability of seeds is important for farming activities.
They have urged the concerned department officials to repair the faulty machinery, improve arrangements at the depot and ensure an adequate supply of seeds at the earliest.
