Mandi Ahmedgarh, Oct 18
The district administration, led by Sangrur Deputy Commissioner Ramvir, has advised the staff of procurement agencies and market committees to ensure that farmers bringing their produce to mandis were not harassed on any account.
Commission agents have been told to cooperate with the officials of the procurement agencies to facilitate prompt procurement and lifting of the paddy purchased from farmers.
Ahmedgarh and Malerkotla SDM Vikramjit Singh Panthey said officials of procurement agencies and market committees facilitating procurement of paddy at various grain markets and purchase centres had been advised to ensure that all work was completed timely so that farmers could go and prepare fields for the sowing of the next crop.
Officials concerned have been advised to solve issues regarding jute bags, labour and transportation of the purchased commodity in advance so that farmers bringing more paddy get ample space for it. — OC
