Heavy Rain Damages Paddy Crops and Stocks Across Punjab and Haryana Grain Markets
Heavy rains across Punjab and Haryana have damaged paddy crops and stocks in multiple grain markets, including Fazilka, Bathinda, Karnal, Ludhiana, and Yamunanagar. Flooding and inadequate protective measures led to waterlogging and crop losses, raising concerns over procurement delays, crop quality, and financial impacts on farmers. Officials, including Punjab's Food and Civil Supplies Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak, have assured farmers of full procurement and timely payments. Farmers and market representatives seek compensation and improved arrangements amid fears of further damage from ongoing adverse weather.
