Neither debt waived off nor land acquisition stopped in new Government. Mansa: Number of suicides committed by farmers in India do not seem to decrease. The current Governmnet had promised the farmers of waiving off debt as soon as they come into power. But sadly, it didn’t happen as the farmers are still committing suicides because of debt. However, it isn’t just the suicides that haven’t stopped but land acquisition too is still going on. Farmers in Mansa district have recently stopped the occupation of the land of Nachatar Singh of village Malakpur Khyalan. According to Balwinder Singh, leader of Bharatiya Kisan Union Ekta Dakonda, a farmer from same village want to acquire Nachhatar Singh’s two kanals of land. The other farmer had come to take possession of the land with the police and patwari.
After the protest of the farmers’ organization, the government staff had to return empty-handed. The farmer has been occupying this land for 27 years. Now he wants to take possession of 2 kanals from the land adjacent to the outside of the village with patwari’s help. On discovering this, the Bhartiya Kisan Union Ekta Dakonda demonstrated a protest in the field together. This occasion was attended by farmers leader Iqbal Singh Mansa, Darshan Singh Bhaini, Bagha Hardev Singh, Kartar Singh and Jaila Singh.
