Procured Paddy yet Stranded beyond Sale at Mandi
Odishabarta
Paralakhemundi:Time almost reached to end kharif & about to start rabi crops. But hesitation by district administration to purchase paddy at mandi yet not activated. This instigated neighbor Andhrapradesh business magnets to purchase on toy prices. As 65000 tons of paddy to be purchased but yet not any formalities found by Gajapati district administration. Cacophony arising among farmers who stocked their procured paddy at road. Untimely cyclone & other natural calamities may smash their year hard produced crop, said Suryanarayan Patnaik, President of Gajapati district farmers association. Woes among farmers wincing & solution of MSP purchase by administration seems lucrative he added.
