Faridkot, April 21

The second phase of the elections in Bihar on April 26 has spelt worries for farmers, commission agents and
food procurement agencies here.

While the wheat harvesting and procurement season is at its peak here, due to the shortage of manpower
from Bihar, there are fewer people around to help in sifting, stitching and stacking of wheat in mandis.

The shortage is leading to the slugging movement of the arrived wheat, causing a glut-like situation. Top News

parliamentary constituencies are among the five constituencies where elections will be held this week. Advertisement

Most labourers come from the rural area of Katihar, Purnia and Kishanganj. The maximum manpower is
from Purnia, which is being seen as a high-profile seat where Pappu Yadav is contesting against the sitting
MP Santosh Kushwaha of INDIA bloc.

As the Election Commission does not approve remote voting for migrant workers, the political parties are
making all efforts to convince their voters to stay in their constituencies and offering them ‘doles’. For this
reason, a significant portion of migrant workers have decided to stay at home to cast vote, said a
commission agent here, who have received 21 migrant labourers against the advance booking of 50.
