Haryana Rice Millers Announce Boycott Over Pending Rs 2,800 Crore CMR Stockpile
Rice millers in Haryana have announced a boycott of Custom-Milled Rice (CMR) operations for the upcoming procurement season, citing nearly 6.5 lakh MT of rice worth around Rs 2,800 crore stuck in mills due to non-acceptance by the Food Corporation of India (FCI). Despite meetings with state and Union officials, including Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, the issue remains unresolved. Millers demand acceptance of stocks, settlement of dues, and compensation for storage before resuming operations.
