Opium farmers demand policy overhaul, fair pricing
Jaipur: The opium farmers' association of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh has strongly urged the Centre to rethink its opium cultivation policy for 2025-26. They have demanded fair treatment of farmers, higher prices, and an end to what they call 'exploitative practices'. In a statement released Friday, the association clarified that "opium is a medicinal crop, not a drug" and blamed corrupt officials rather than the crop itself for mismanagement. "Opium is not inferior — it is the system and some officials that failed the farmers," the association asserted. Key demands include issuing traditional cultivation licences to all farmers and families who grew opium since Independence and revising the price of raw opium to at least Rs 50,000 per kg to align with global standards. "Farmers have faced years of exploitation under the guise of regulation while their production costs skyrocketed," the association said. The group also criticised the govt-imposed Concentrated Poppy Straw (CPS) system, describing it as an attempt to "enslave farmers to private companies." They called for its discontinuation, arguing that if CPS was genuinely effective, parallel traditional farming wouldn't still exist. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "If CPS is truly superior, make its performance data public. Stop forcing it on traditional farmers," the association has demanded. The association suggests that the govt should directly buy and fairly compensate for all by-products like doda chura, comparing it to how no one expects farmers to manage cow dung after consuming the milk. The Central Bureau of Narcotics issues licences to farmers for opium cultivation and is the sole authority responsible for its procurement. They have also urged the govt to prevent opium cultivation from falling into the hands of private companies and called for a CBI probe into the operations of the narcotics department between 2015 and 2025. The farmers stressed that adopting their suggestions would "ensure economic freedom for the country, prosperity for farmers, and affordable medicines for patients, in line with the PM's 'Make in India, Made by Farmers' vision."

After Noida, Greater Noida is set to get its own waste-to-wonder park
Noida: GNIDA will soon set up a waste to wonder park to boost public recreational spaces in the city. Officials said a tender for design and development of the Rs 19.3 crore project will be floated shortly, with the park to be built on a revenue-sharing model for a 20-year concession period. "The park will come up in a designated recreational green zone. A pre-bid meeting with interested firms has been scheduled for June 30 at the GNIDA office," said a senior official. Inspired by eco-tourism and sustainability, waste to wonder parks are themed around the creative reuse of scrap materials to build sculptures of animals, monuments and other installations. The upcoming park will be modelled on Noida's waste to wonder jungle trail, which is nearing completion. Developed over 20 acres near Mahamaya Flyover, it will undergo a trial run from June 25 and is expected to be officially inaugurated in early July. Built at a cost of Rs 22 crore under a PPP, the project is a collaboration between the Noida Authority and private firm Z-Tech, known for similar projects like UP Darshan Park and Happiness Park in Lucknow. tnn
