Karnal Bars Outside Paddy Arrivals Amid Farmer Protests and Increased Border Vigilance
The Karnal administration has barred paddy arrivals from outside the district in grain markets, prompting farmers from neighboring areas to protest by blocking roads. Officials have tightened surveillance along the Haryana-Uttar Pradesh border, adding checkpoints and verifying farmers registered on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal to ensure compliance with procurement rules. Farmers argue they have traditionally sold paddy at the Nissing market for decades and face difficulties due to gate pass restrictions, while authorities emphasize preventing unauthorized paddy inflows.
