There has been a huge increase in the prices of garlic in the country. Meanwhile, in Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, farmers are looking very alert in view of the rising prices of garlic. Adopting a unique solution, the farmers here have now installed CCTV cameras in their fields so that they can protect their crops from thieves. The price of garlic in the market is skyrocketing, reaching an all-time high of Rs 400 to Rs 500 per kg, which is causing both happiness and trouble among the farmers.
Farmers are very happy with the increase in the price of their crops, while on the other hand there is also a fear of it being stolen. Farmers have installed CCTV cameras in their fields to protect their high-cost crops from theft. Farmers are feeling some peace after the installation of CCTV. The amazing thing is that these CCTV cameras run on solar energy.
