Haryana to Begin Paddy Procurement October 1 Amid Preparations to Prevent Irregularities
Haryana plans to start paddy procurement from October 1, despite farmers' requests to advance the date to mid-September based on crop cycles. The government will continue using the tech-driven 'Meri Fasal-Mera Byora' portal, aiming for transparency while considering farmers' challenges with technology. Meanwhile, the Karnal administration is preparing to prevent irregularities seen last season, such as fake records and illegal paddy inflows, with investigations and arrests already made to ensure genuine procurement.
