Ban on lifting farm produce imposed

The district nazim imposed a ban with immediate effect on lifting farm produce from the fields before paying due share to the landlord, here on Friday under section 144 CrPC. DN Ahmed Yar Haraj in his directive said the step had been taken to avoid disputes between the tenants and landowners or allottees on the issue of distribution of the agricultural produce.
The order has been enforced to restrict lifting the produce of the Kharif crop like cotton, which is ready for picking these days. Sometimes these disputes lead to tedious litigation.
