	Politics apart, people to gain if Ferozepur hamlets move to Muktsar
		CHANDIGARH, OCT 17: The move of the Parkash Singh Badal government to transfer 117 villages from Ferozepur district to Muktsar district will not only checkmate the ranks of the mainstream Opposition but also ``greatly benefit'', by way of administrative expedience, the people inhabiting these far-flung villages on the borders.
		While most of the panchayats of the 117 villages spanning the Assembly constituencies of Abohar and Baluana are reported to have passed resolutions favouring the transfer, the government has put the move on hold for the time being.
		If these villages go to Muktsar, the local monopoly of the Jakhar family would have to face stiff competition from within the Congress -- Jagmeet Brar and former CM Harcharan S. Brar -- as well as from the well-entrenched Badal clan.

		Similar cases of cancer deaths (apart from farmers’ suicides) have become the norm in the whole of Malwa region of Punjab, comprising the districts of Muktsar, Faridkot, Moga, Sangroor and Bathinda.
		Predictably, Dr Harinder Singh, Agriculture Development Officer, Muktsar, categorically blames the farmers for not adhering to the precautions related to the use of pesticides.
		While NGO’s such as Kheti Virasat Mission, are doing their best to educate the farmers about health and environment issues, even to the extent of asking them to pledge that they will do only organic farming, the state government’s role is starkly insensitive and lackadaisical.
