Paddy Arrivals Vary in Ludhiana and Karnal Amid Procurement Efforts
Paddy arrivals in Ludhiana and Karnal districts show contrasting trends this season. Ludhiana received 7,552 MT of paddy, with 28% purchased and government officials assuring smooth procurement and timely payments. In contrast, Karnal's paddy arrivals are less than one-third of last year due to recent heavy rainfall delaying harvest and transport. Officials expect increased arrivals as weather improves. Both regions emphasize monitoring and support for farmers during the procurement process.
