Karnataka chief minister seeks Centre's help to bail out mango farmers
Bengaluru: Chief minister Siddaramaiah has urged Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to intervene and address the issues faced by mango farmers in Karnataka due to the sharp decline in market prices. In his letter to Chouhan, Siddaramaiah has requested immediate steps to implement a price deficiency payment scheme (PDPS) under market intervention scheme (MIS) for mangoes as an urgent policy response. He stated, "Necessary direction may be issued to designated central procurement agencies to initiate procurement operations immediately at an appropriate intervention price, ensuring that farmers receive at least the minimum cost of cultivation as a safety net." Siddaramaiah explained that the market price, which earlier was around Rs 12,000 a quintal, has now plummeted to as low as Rs 3,000. The cost of cultivating a quintal of mangoes is around Rs 5,466, leaving mango growers unable to recover even their basic input costs. "This has led to protests and growing agrarian anxiety. Unless prompt and effective intervention is undertaken, this crisis may lead to serious socio-economic consequences in the region," he stated.

BJP, RSS trying to erase rich history of Tamil Nadu: Stalin on Keeladi
M K Stalin CHENNAI: Chief minister M K Stalin said BJP and RSS were trying to erase the rich history of Tamil Nadu everyday despite abundant scientific evidence to back its glorious past. 'When it comes to Keeladi and the enduring truth of Tamil heritage, the BJP-RSS ecosystem recoils — not because evidence is lacking, but because the truth does not serve their script,' he said sharing on social media a story about Keeladi published by TOI on Friday. TOI reported that radiocarbon dating by US based Beta Analytics laboratory has confirmed that the articles recovered from the Keeladi site date to 6th century BCE. 'Of the 29 radiocarbon samples dated by TN state archaeology dept since 2017-18, the earliest was from 580BCE and the most recent from 200BCE,' the report said. 'Even when confronted with carbon-dated artefacts and accelerator mass spectrometry reports from international laboratories on the Keeladi excavations, they continue to demand more proof. And here is the 'proof,' he said. The Union govt has put on hold publication of the report submitted to Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) by archaeologist Amarnath Ramakrishnan who headed two phases of Keeladi excavations, citing the need for more scientific validation of the antiquity of Keeladi. Stalin said, on the contrary, despite strong opposition from reputed historians and archaeologists, BJP continues to promote the mythical Sarasvati civilisation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo 'They do so without credible evidence, while dismissing the rigorously proven antiquity of Tamil culture,' the chief minister said. 'We fought for centuries to unearth our history. They fight everyday to erase it. The world is watching. So is time,' he said. State minister for finance Thangam Thennarasu too shared the TOI story on X and said Tamil history has given a scientifically backed response to those who sought more evidence. 'The Dravidian model government, which has been showcasing the antiquity and rich history of the Tamil land through archaeological studies, has increased this year's allocation for excavation work from Rs5 crore to Rs7 crore, in yet another example of the CM's commitment,' Thennarasu said. Meanwhile, DMK's student wing announced a protest in Madurai on June 18 demanding that the Union govt make public the Keeladi report.
