Approval in prin- ciple had been granted for this in the Pauri cabi- net meeting. The government’s decision has had such an effect that even before introducing the law, there has been a decrease in the economic exploitation of farmers. Uniyal further informed that improvement in the income of farmers is being facilitated by facil- itating adequate value to them for their produce. He said that considering the exploitation of farm- ers, a provision of Rs one crore was made in this year’s district plan for Pauri for facilitating the pur- chase of farmers’ produce through the district administration. This also prevented the exploita- tion of farmers in Pauri district. This makes it appear as if this decision of the government will stop exploitation of farmers by wholesalers and the farmers will get proper value for their produce. Improving the financial condi- tion of farmers in this way will strengthen the efforts to double the income of farmers. The minister further informed that on learing of the government’s intention to table a Bill, the wholesalers have themselves increased the rates they provide for farm produce. Earlier the wholesalers paid Rs 14 to Rs 20 per kilgramme of Mandua (mil- let) which has now increased to Rs 28 to Rs 32 per kilogramme while the earlier rates of Chaulai (Amaranthus) have increased from Rs 34 to Rs 40 per kilogramme to Rs 56 to Rs 60 per kilogramme.

New York: United Airlines said on Tuesday it had ordered 50 Airbus A321XLR aircraft, worth an estimated $6.5 billion, to replace an existing fleet of aging Boeings. The new Airbus planes, to be delivered starting 2024, will allow United to retire its Boeing 757-200s, the company said. The Airbus order is the latest blow to the American man- ufacturer, already deeply mired in the crisis surrounding its 737 MAX, which has been grounded worldwide after two crashes that resulted in 346 deaths. Boeing has no new aircraft to compete with the Airbus A321XLR in the mid-market range. Airbus launched the A321XLR only this year, at the Paris Air Show in June. The single-aisle aircraft’s range is 15 percent above that of its predecessor, the A321LR, making it a cost-effective alter- native to long-haul wide-body planes. AFP ! % !"#$
