Fatehgarh Sahib, April 17 

The Punjab Rice Millers Association has warned the state government to immediately release the security of Rs 5 lakh per rice mill of all those millers who have delivered the custom milling rice as per the contract made with the procurement agencies, otherwise they will be forced to protest. 

Nakesh Jindal, press secretary of the association, said there are 3,700 rice millers in the state and a majority of them have completed the milling of paddy but their money is lying as security with the government. — TNS
