The Cong. leader says farmers are facing a lot of problems in selling their produce
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in a letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday, demanded that the State government guarantee wheat procurement while flagging several problems faced by wheat farmers. She said there should be a guarantee that wheat from farmers would be procured by procurement centres till July 15. “Wheat procurement started from April 1, but due to the corona pandemic, the purchase centres remained locked. As soon as the farmers’ wheat started reaching the procurement centres, the procurement was reduced to half,” Ms. Vadra said.More Related News
