BHAI DINESH DEMANDED OPENING OF PADDY PROCUREMENT CENTRES

BHAI DINESH DEMANDED OPENING OF PADDY PROCUREMENT CENTRES

3-DEC-ENG 4

RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA------------------------Wherever paddy procurement centers have not yet been opened, the government and district administration should ensure that paddy procurement centers are opened soon.

I request my fellow farmers to bring their paddy to the PACS warehouse. If the PACS is not accepting it, please inform me. I will sit with you at the PACS warehouse and work to ensure the purchase of the paddy.

This year, farmers are already suffering. Half of the paddy crop has been damaged due to rain, and the remaining paddy has become light. Therefore, the central and state governments should provide a bonus of ₹1,000 per quintal to strengthen farmers' financial situation.

Reports have been received from several villages that farmers are guarding their paddy, and many are forced to sell at very low prices.

Many PACS are not accepting paddy, citing the lack of CC (Central Registered Office) registration as a reason.

Many PACS are not accepting paddy, claiming that the CC has not yet been processed, and that the lack of CC is not the farmer's responsibility.

Many PACS are collecting paddy without payment; this is merely taking advantage of the farmers' helplessness.

If paddy procurement centers are not opened soon, the DM and SDM offices will be surrounded.
