Haryana Restricts Uttar Pradesh Wheat Entry into Karnal Markets Amid Enforcement Measures

Haryana authorities have set up checkpoints on the Haryana-Uttar Pradesh border to prevent wheat from UP entering Karnal's grain markets, allowing only farmers registered on the Meri Fasal, Mera Byora portal to bring produce. Deputy Commissioner Anand Kumar Sharma warned of strict action against arhtiyas and officials facilitating unregistered wheat arrivals. Farmers from UP and those with land in UP but ties to Haryana expressed frustration over registration requirements and alleged inconsistent enforcement. Efforts are underway to expedite wheat procurement and unloading in Karnal's markets.
