I want to make all the resources available to our farmers, but some difficult decisions must be made to create a balance in the economy. A support value of RS5,000 per acre is giving to wheat farmers. The Punjab government is being the maximum to reduce the cost of the seed, the target, the targets, the tab of the tubes of the timbos of the rates of the state tubes and the damages and damage of the tubes tubes.
