PATNA: Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi
informed the state assembly on Monday that it was the standing policy
of the state government to make payment of money within 24 hours to all
farmers
from whom paddy has been procured by the Primary Agriculture Credit
Societies (PACS), and it would be complied with without fail.
Modi, who was giving government's reply to the zero-hour mention of RJD
member Dinesh Kumar Singh regarding non-payment of money to the farmers
by the PACS concerned in Jagdishpur assembly constituency for the last
three months even as paddy had been procured from them, asked Singh to
furnish him the list of such farmers who have not been paid their money.
"Money will be paid to them within 24 hours," Modi said, adding that
the PACS have to make the payment within 24 hours.
Earlier, Singh created a ruckus in the state assembly, before Modi intervened to give the government's reply. Singh first continued to raise the issue from his seat to seek attention of Speaker Uday Narayan Choudhary, as the latter asked other members of the House to read their zero-hour mention.
Singh picked up a sheet of paper that displayed his demand and entered the well of the House. When he sought to draw the Speakers' attention by thumping the desk of the reporter, the marshal snatched the sheet of paper from Singh, whereafter Modi gave assurance to him and to the House regarding payment of money by the PACS within 24 hours.
Demand conceded: Cane development minister Awadhesh Prasad Kushwaha conceded the demand of Brij Kishore Singh (RJD) Afor a probe into unauthorized occupation of around 500 acres of land of Motipur sugar mill by around 44 families for purposes of farming. The Speaker said the land encroached should be freed from occupation of farmers.
Inquiry into transfer of money: In view of the ruling given by the Speaker, Kushwaha agreed to order a probe into transfer of Rs 80 crore to sugar mills, even as the money was earmarked for the supply of organic pesticides and improved seeds to cane growers. Manjit Kumar Singh (JD-U), through his starred question, had raised the issue of transfer of money to sugar mills.
