Haryana Officials Expand Rice Miller Participation to Boost Paddy Procurement
Haryana Assembly Speaker Harvinder Kalyan visited Gharaunda's grain market to address farmers' concerns about paddy procurement delays caused by insufficient rice millers. The government has allowed millers who have delivered 80% of their custom-milled rice to join procurement from October 15, aiming to increase participation. Officials, including the Deputy Commissioner and SDM, emphasized support for farmers amid weather challenges. Measures such as banning paddy drying in mills have been implemented to ensure smooth procurement and protect stakeholders' interests.
