Mansa : Punjab Congress Legislature Party leader Charanjit Singh Channi on Saturday demanded that farmers to be subsidised at the rate of Rs 50,000 per farming household. Elaborating the issue he said this subsidy, in lieu of free power, should be transferred directly to their accounts rather than the state government making payment to the power corporation. “Currently a total of 10.53 lakh families are being given Rs 5,500 crore subsidy which if given in cash comes to Rs 50,000 per annum to every farmer family will benefit the farmer more financially and even the MSP rates would be higher than the present,” said Channi.
