Arhtiyas beat empty casks to register their protest against the imposition of the e-procurement regime at Uchana grain market in Jind on Tuesday.
Karnal, April 21
Infuriated over names of registered farmers not being displayed on the e-kharid portal, arhtiyas in the Karnal grain market have decided to boycott the wheat procurement process.
They have demanded that the government should allow farmers with manual gate passes or those generated by the e-portal of the market committee. A delegation of arhtiyas met SDM Narendra Pal Malik today and raised the issue.
“The portal is not showing the names of registered farmers, due to which farmers are worried. The situation is the same in Nigdhu, Taraori, Kunjpura, Assandh, Gharaunda, Jundla and Nissing. Though the issue has been taken up with officials, no action is being taken, forcing us to boycott procurement from Wednesday,” said Rajneesh Chodhary, president of the Karnal Arhtiyas Association. — TNS
