Farmers Block Ambala-Hisar Highway Over Paddy Procurement Limits in Haryana
Farmers under the Bharatiya Kisan Union blocked the Ambala-Hisar highway near the New Grain Market in Ambala to protest paddy procurement restrictions. They demand raising the procurement limit from 26.26 to 32 quintals per acre, expedited crop verification on the "Meri Fasal Mera Byora" portal, an end to moisture-related deductions, prompt grain lifting, and timely payments. Authorities assured to convey demands to the government and diverted traffic, but farmers continued their blockade.
