Expressing gratitude to the farmers for their whole hearted support and cooperation to ensure smooth procurement during the ongoing operations, Khanna complimented the concerted efforts of all stakeholders especially the farmers to avoid crowd and congestion in the purchase centres thereby strictly adhering to the health protocol.
To ensure seamless procurement in these trying circumstances due to curfew/lockdown in wake of coronavirus, the state government has enhanced the number of purchase centres from 1834 to 4000 this year even designated rice mills as purchase centres to facilitate the farmers to bring their produce in a staggered manner at the nearest purchase points, Khanna added.
