Haryana Rice Millers Protest Delays in Custom-Milled Rice Delivery to FCI
Rice millers in Haryana have raised concerns over delays in delivering custom-milled rice (CMR) for the 2025-26 kharif season, citing administrative issues and limited storage space at the Food Corporation of India (FCI). Millers from Karnal and Fatehabad districts have urged government intervention, warning of strikes and potential cessation of paddy procurement if the backlog persists. They seek timely acceptance of CMR by procurement agencies and release of pending bank guarantees, emphasizing that delays are due to storage constraints rather than millers' fault.
