Chandigarh, April 9
For the first time, farmers in Punjab will get the payment for their produce directly in their bank accounts as the state is all set to procure 130 lakh metric tonne of wheat from Saturday.
Wheat arrivals in mandis have started with over 3,000 metric tonne coming in the mandis of seven Malwa districts today.
Though the commission agents (arhtiyas) have reiterated their threat to go on a strike from tomorrow in protest against the new directive of the Government of India, sources in the Food and Civil Supplies Department as well as commission agents have confirmed to The Tribune that a consensus has been reached, and only the modalities need to be finalised.
