Haryana has roped in ration depot holders and farmer producer organisations (FPOs) by offering them temporary licence of commission agents to deal with the boycott of procurement by arhtiyas from today over the direct payment to farmers.
Dr Sumita Misra, Additional Chief Secretary, Agriculture, Haryana, said payment through arhtiyas was unjustified as 75 per cent of the 10.66 lakh farmers had opted for direct benefit transfer (DBT) to their accounts.
