Chandigarh, Oct 21 || Punjab BJP Working President Ashwani Sharma, on Tuesday, expressed gratitude to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for sending 1,000 quintals seeds to farmers affected by floods in the state.
Welcoming this decision of the Uttar Pradesh government, Sharma said that when devastating floods hit Punjab, submerging fields and leaving farmers without seeds, CM Adityanath took a compassionate step driven by concern for their plight.
Under a sense of social responsibility and humanitarian spirit, the Uttar Pradesh government decided to send 1,000 quintals of high-quality wheat seeds to help Punjab's farmers.
These seeds will be distributed free of cost, enabling affected farmers to resume cultivation and rebuild their livelihoods.
Sharma said that the wheat seeds sent by CM Adityanath are of the "BB-327" variety, a disease-resistant, bio-fortified, and nutrient-rich type that matures in just 155 days and can yield up to 80 quintals per hectare.
