Bhiwani, March 27
Mustard farmers under the banner of the All-India Kisan Sabha staged a protest here today and demanded procurement of their produce by government agencies.
“We are forced to sell off our produce at rates lower than the MSP. Officials have no control on arhtiyas who are turning us away for quoting the MSP during procurement,” alleged the farmers.
Master Sher Singh, state president of the sabha, said farmers were being looted by private procurement agencies and arhtiyas. “It is the laxity on part of the government officials that farmers are being cheated by these unscrupulous elements,” he alleged.
Yogesh Kumar, market supervisor, told mediapersons that the mustard produce arriving in the market had moisture content.
