Farmers complained they have been issued tokens for only a fraction of their produce
THE kharif paddy procurement process in Bargarh district, which began with high hopes following announcement of the revised minimum support price of ₹3,100, has been severely hindered over alleged irregularities in token generation system.
While most farmers are frustrated over the alleged delay in issuance of tokens, some others complained they have been issued the same for only a fraction of their harvested produce.
Farmer leader Hara Bania said farmers had expected the situation to get better after the new government came to power. But now, they are tensed as they have no proper space to store their grains.
