Saini orders offline crop purchase where land consolidation pending

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has directed the officers to purchase crops from farmers in villages where consolidation has not yet been completed, through an offline mode rather than the ‘Meri Fasal Mera Byora’ (MFMB) portal.

The Chief Minister issued this direction while presiding over a review meeting of the Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Affairs Department here today. The meeting was also attended by the Minister of State for Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Affairs, Rajesh Nagar.

Saini emphasised that the government was committed to supporting farmers and ensuring they do not face any hardships. He said in villages where consolidation had not been completed, farmers were facing difficulties in selling their crops due to the lack of relevant data on the MFMB portal. To address this issue, the government has decided to facilitate crop procurement through an offline medium in these villages instead of the portal, he added.

The Chief Minister was informed that 17.40 lakh women had registered under the Har Ghar-Har Grihini Yojana. The Chief Minister instructed officers to verify the data of Ujjwala Scheme beneficiaries and BPL families through door-to-door checks. He also directed gas companies to set up camps at depots to assist consumers with LPG cylinder distribution. He reiterated that BPL families would continue to receive LPG cylinders at the subsidised price of Rs 500.
