Haryana Farmers Protest Paddy Procurement Delays and Caps, Seek Government Action
Farmers in Haryana have protested delays and caps in paddy procurement, citing issues like pending crop verification on the MFMB portal, non-issuance of gate passes, and slow lifting of produce. Protests included blocking highways, locking market gates, and burning effigies of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. Farmer unions demanded increased procurement limits and assured purchases at minimum support price. Following talks with officials, BKU (Charuni) withdrew its agitation call after government assurances to expedite procurement and payments.
