Chandigarh, April 12
The Haryana government on Monday stopped the purchase of wheat in 18 ‘mandis’ of the state for 24 hours due to excess arrival of the crop in these grain markets.
The state government has urged the farmers to bring their crops to their respective procurement centres only when they receive the SMS on their registered mobile phones for bringing their crops in the mandis, according to an official statement.
The farmers after registering themselves on ‘Mera Fasal Mera Byora’ crop registration portal can also change their schedule of bringing their crops as per their convenience, it said.
The statement added that a decision in this regard was taken in a review meeting regarding ongoing rabi procurement season 2021-22 held under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar here.

‘Haryana govt. failed to make arrangements for grain procurement’
Interacting with the farmers and labourers at the Karnal food grain market, former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday accused the Haryana government of failing to make proper arrangements for procurement even though it had announced to start the process on April 1.
“In many places, farmers reaching the market with their crops are being harassed in the name of moisture, not registering on the web portal or on account of server being down. The government should co-operate with the farmers, and not do new experiments on them every day. The government should immediately stop making excuses and procure grains from farmers who are reaching the market with their crops,” he said.
