News Topical, Digital Desk : These days, huge crowds of farmers are being seen at all the petrol pumps in the Salichowka area of ​​Narsinghpur district, Madhya Pradesh. Due to the escalating tension between the US, Israel, and Iran, farmers fear that the supply of diesel, petrol, and LPG gas may be affected in the coming days. Due to this fear, farmers are busy buying fuel in large quantities and stocking up.

 Diesel is most needed before wheat harvesting and moong sowing.

Wheat harvesting is about to begin in the district, and preparations are underway for mung bean sowing. Harvesters and other agricultural machinery require large quantities of diesel to operate. Farmers are concerned that if the war continues and fuel supplies are affected, diesel and petrol prices could rise and shortages could occur.

Due to this fear, farmers are seen filling large drums, cans, and tanks with diesel at the petrol pumps in Salichowka. Farmers say that farming is completely dependent on fuel, and any shortage or inflation could pose a significant problem for them. Many farmers are also worried about a potential LPG gas shortage and are already refilling their cylinders.
