It’s been a month since the wheat procurement started in the state, but some farmers of the district could not register their produce on the “Meri Fasal, Mera Byora” portal because of the mismatch in e-girdawari. It means that khasra numbers of land uploaded by officials do not match with those entered by farmers. Hence, the crop could not be registered.

Till the crop is not registered, it cannot be sold.

Farmers Satpal Kaushik, Sant Lal, Raj Kumar, Rajpal and Amar Pal, all residents of Kartarpur village, have been running from pillar to post to get their produce registered, but in vain. Kaushik had recently written to CM Manohar Lal Khattar, highlighting their plight.

“We have met the Deputy Commissioner, District Revenue Officer, Radaur SDM and Deputy Director, Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department, several times, but the problem remains unresolved,” said Kaushik.

Jasvinder Singh, Deputy Director, Agriculture, said: “A few farmers of the district’s Khandwa village had faced the same problem, but it was solved. The matter of Kartarpur farmers has been taken up with higher authorities.”
