Ludhiana, September 26, 2024: The district administration is all set to ensure smooth and hassle free paddy procurement in Ludhiana from October 1.
Deputy Commissioner Jitendra Jorwal reiterated the firm commitment to procure every single grain of the farmers. He disclosed that as many as 18 lakh metric tons paddy was expected to arrive in the grain markets in Ludhiana because it was the fruit of six months of hard work of the farmers. “The administration had made all out arrangements for the smooth and uninterrupted procurement of paddy crop in all the mandis”, he mentioned.
Jorwal added that there was sufficient availability of gunny bags besides proper arrangements for lifting and payments were already made in all the purchase centers where farmers would get the payment of their produce within stipulated time-frame. He appealed to the farmers not to set fire crop residue in the fields as it would lead to air pollution. He added that the district administration had made elaborate arrangements to ensure that the harvest of farmers was lifted from the grain markets promptly adding that farmer would not be allowed to face any sort of problem while selling their produce. He also asked Sub Divisional Magistrates and chiefs of the all procurement agencies to supervise paddy procurement operations.
