Farmers Protest Delays and Caps in Haryana Paddy Procurement Process
Farmers in Haryana protested delays and restrictions in paddy procurement at grain markets in Gharaunda and Ambala. They criticized the state government, led by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, for slow verification on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal, non-issuance of gate passes, and a procurement cap of 26.26 quintals per acre. Protesters demanded the cap be raised to 32 quintals and called for resolution of disputes with rice millers to ensure timely procurement at minimum support price.
