Karnal Authorities Tighten Surveillance Amid Paddy Procurement Protests and FIRs
Karnal district authorities have tightened surveillance to prevent paddy arrivals from outside, especially Uttar Pradesh, amid concerns over procurement violations.

Police registered two FIRs related to suspected illegal paddy inflows and possible misuse of the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal for e-procurement. Officials continue verifying farmer registrations and gate pass records to ensure compliance during the Kharif procurement season.
