|January 19, 2025
VEHICULAR movement between Paralakhemundi and Berhampur was disrupted for several hours on Saturday as hundreds of farmers staged a road blockade at Upalada demanding procurement of discoloured paddy at mandis in Gajapati district.
The agitating farmers said last month, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi visited the district to take stock of the damage to crops due to unseasonal rains. The CM had assured immediate disbursement of crop damage assistance to the affected farmers. While not a single farmer has received the promised assistance, several mandis are only accepting FAQ paddy, they claimed.
