The state government had earlier decided to transplant the Paddy from June 15 during the current season. However, as the Model Code of Conduct for the General elections 2014 was in effect till May 20 so the notification in this regard could not be issued, a spokesperson of the Chief Minister's Office said here today.
Badal has also asked the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) to make necessary arrangements for supplying requisite power for sowing the crop from June 10, the spokesman added.
