00:00 Because the borders are closed, there is a problem in the streets.
00:03 Peas are unprocessed, they get stained and rot.
00:06 There is no sale here. There is no sale in the Ghazipur Mandi.
00:09 Since the day these farmers have been sitting here, there is no sale.
00:13 It's been three days, there is no sale here.
00:15 Two days ago, when the farmer's movement started,
00:18 the situation has changed a little since then.
00:22 The borders have been slightly opened.
00:24 The sound of traffic has started.
00:27 But if you talk about the Ghazipur Mandi,
00:30 as per the report of the Mandi, prices are going to start increasing.
00:33 The government has also confirmed that the borders are closed due to traffic.
00:38 At the Shambhu border, the fight between the farmers and the Haryana police is going on.
00:43 The fight is going on. The farmers are not allowed to move forward.
00:46 And due to the closed borders, there are problems.
00:50 Now the effect of the problems is beginning to be seen on the common people.
00:55 We are in the Ghazipur Mandi.
00:57 If we talk about the Ghazipur Mandi,
00:59 you can see that the business of our garlic is going on.
01:04 We have come here to find out
01:07 whether the situation has started to show any effect of the farmer's movement,
01:12 which is the Punjab border closure, on the market or not.
01:17 What are the problems that are being felt by the people of Ghazipur due to the movement in Punjab?
01:23 Due to the lockdown, people are not able to come to the Mandi.
01:29 People from UP are not able to come.
01:31 People from Delhi are coming to buy.
01:33 The rest of the people are not able to come.
01:35 People from UP are not able to come due to the lockdown.
01:38 They are going to other places.
01:40 Tell me, the supplies,
01:42 is there any effect of the closed borders from Punjab?
01:46 The supply of Punjab goods is less.
01:49 The supply of peas has been reduced.
01:52 The supply of peas has been reduced.
01:54 Can you tell me about the Dam?
01:57 Is there any effect of the Dam?
01:59 No, there is no effect.
02:01 So, as you can see, there is no effect.
02:07 The congestion of traffic is less.
02:11 The supply of peas has also been reduced.
02:13 People from Noida, Meerut and Ghaziabad are facing difficulties in reaching Ghazipur.
02:21 Normally, people think that the borders are still closed.
02:24 But the borders are not like that.
02:26 We have come from that side.
02:28 If we see from the front, the borders are not closed.
02:30 The borders have been opened a little.
02:32 But the situation is still the same.
02:35 People are still not going to the market.
02:38 And the effect of that is still being seen.
02:41 What are the problems you are facing here?
02:43 There is no sale here.
02:45 The day the people of Noida have come, there is no sale.
02:49 It's been three days, there is no sale.
02:52 So, people are not coming to buy.
02:54 Yes, people are not coming to buy.
02:56 And what is the problem with the goods?
02:58 Is there any problem with the goods?
03:00 There is a slight decline.
03:02 There is a slight decline.
03:03 There is no customer.
03:05 So, the sale is decreasing.
03:07 You tell me, is there a problem with the goods coming?
03:10 Is there a problem with people coming?
03:11 What is the problem with the borders being closed for the Ghazipur market?
03:15 I would like to tell you that if there is any such situation in the country,
03:23 then it has always had an impact on the citizens of the country.
03:30 And as you just said, we asked him that the movement of farmers is affecting the vegetable market or our vehicles.
03:40 This is very much to see.
03:42 The common public goes here.
03:44 If someone has to go 2 km and the border is closed, he is coming by 8 km.
03:48 That can also be considered a big problem.
03:50 And the potatoes and vegetables that come in our goods,
03:54 the vegetables that we need, the food that we eat, all the goods,
03:59 it is having a big impact on the situation.
04:01 If they come to the border, the police will keep them there for 4 days.
04:05 There is no road there.
04:07 The farmers who have so many factories are coming from all over the world.
04:10 It is very difficult for us to get out.
04:12 So, what should have reached us in 4 days,
04:14 it is going to take 8 days to reach us.
04:16 It is a simple thing.
04:17 So, the problem is very much.
04:19 You see for yourself.
04:20 Will you tell us one more thing that the goods that are reaching here,
04:24 is there any difference in its quality because of this movement?
04:27 Is there anything bad coming out of it?
04:29 Because of the movement, there is a slight difference in quality.
04:32 But the goods are becoming expensive.
04:36 If the price of potatoes is Rs. 1, then it becomes Rs. 1.25 automatically.
04:40 Because our drivers, the owners of the vehicles,
04:44 if they send their vehicles to the vegetable market in Gajipur for 8 hours in a day,
04:49 and if their vehicles are parked on the road for 4 days,
04:52 then they will face a huge loss.
04:54 So, how will they pay the loss?
04:55 Then it will go from the farmer to the farmer.
04:59 So, this is a very big thing.
05:01 Suppose, our vehicle is giving us Rs. 2000 per day,
05:04 and it is parked on the road for 4 days,
05:06 then it should be put on the poor farmer,
05:09 or put on the farmer, or put on the driver.
05:12 So, it is a simple thing that the rate is increasing.
05:16 Sir, as he said, will this have an eventual effect on the common people?
05:22 Will the prices of potatoes and onions increase?
05:26 Sir, there is a reason for the increase.
05:29 You turn the camera towards the market.
05:31 All these vehicles are parked here because the public is not coming.
05:34 This is the balance that is left.
05:36 Yesterday, the packet was selling for Rs. 500 or Rs. 450.
05:39 Today, it is selling for Rs. 350 or Rs. 350.
05:42 The reason for that is that the public is not coming here.
05:44 The vehicles that come here, the goods that are loaded from here,
05:48 are not coming here completely.
05:50 20% of the people are coming here,
05:52 who are loading goods from here.
05:54 Because of this, there is a difference in the price of potatoes for Rs. 100 per packet.
05:58 This border is closed.
06:00 The border between Ghazipur and Mandi is close.
06:04 Most of the people come from Khora and Vijayanagar.
06:07 These people have a lot of trouble coming here.
06:10 So, because of this, there is a lot of difference in our work.
06:13 We are selling 4-5 vehicles daily.
06:15 Today, we are not able to sell even 2 vehicles.
06:17 The other two borders that are closed,
06:19 which are completely sealed,
06:21 do you get any supply from there as well?
06:24 No, we get potatoes from Punjab.
06:26 We get peas and a lot of other vegetables.
06:28 That is also less.
06:30 The income is less in Mandi.
06:32 When the borders are closed, there is a problem.
06:34 Peas are a raw material.
06:36 It becomes a stain and rots.
06:38 It is a problem. It is a loss for the farmers and the traders.
06:41 They are not able to sell.
06:43 This is the reason for the closure of all the borders.
06:45 The customers are not able to come to Mandi.
06:47 The customers who were 100% in Mandi,
06:49 now, according to me, 50% of them are not able to come.
06:52 So, as you can see, there is a steep fall,
06:56 as he is saying, like 50% of downfall in the market right now.
07:00 People are not coming to the market.
07:02 The goods are reaching badly.
07:04 And eventually, who is going to get impacted by this
07:06 is just the normal public after that.
07:08 Of course, and why not the public?
07:10 If the goods are coming in a bad condition,
07:12 if the goods are not coming on time,
07:14 and if the price starts increasing from here,
07:16 eventually, if the wholesale price increases,
07:18 then the remaining price of 1 kg of potatoes,
07:20 which you are getting in 20,
07:22 will start increasing slowly like 25, 30, 50.
