Punjab farmers deny facing economic crisis

Firozpur, Feb 13 : Farmers in Punjab deny that they are facing economic crisis due to shortfall in production of agricultural crops.
Debunking a 'Punjabi Durbar' broadcast, suggesting that farmers are indebted and take recourse to suicide, farmers living along India-Pakistan border of the state say that they are prosperous and their prosperity can be judged by merely witnessing the number of tube-wells, tractors in farms and their living standards.
Ignoring the fact that Punjab is known as the granary of India, Pakistan Radio’s 'Punjabi Durbar' programme continues to broadcast the view that Sikh farmers are facing a plethora of hardships.
