The Kalahandi District Congress Harijan Cell alleged kharif paddy procurement had been disrupted in the district due to undue interference by local leaders, dalals, millers and corrupt Government employees leading to harassment of the farmers.
Sources said as per an order of the district collector, the civil supplies department has been entrusted to procure kharif paddy this year. Though mandis were opened, the farmers were not informed where to shift their paddy. When farmers are carrying their paddy to the nearest mandi, their prices are deducted.
The Harijan Cell demanded for an enquiry into the paddy procurement method, all irregularities done to harass the farmers and strict action against the dalals and dishonest traders who are making a mess of things.
