A Pumpkin Farmers Festival, organised by Sarvodaya Development Finance and Coexist Foundation, was held last Friday along Greenpath to in a move to help pumpkin farmers who are struggling with a bumper harvest.
An organiser of the event told the Sunday Times that many farmers facing the problem of not being able to get a reasonable price for their produce were even giving them away free of charge. In spite of this piles of pumpkins can still be seen around the country, he said.
The Presidents’ Entitlements (Repeal) Bill under which benefits for former Presidents would be reduced has been gazetted.
