The Haryana government has decided to lock market committee offices across the state today following a delay in paddy procurement.
SKM announced the closure of market committee offices across Haryana today after reports of delays in paddy procurement.
The decision follows concerns that state procurement agencies have struggled to secure sufficient paddy within the required timeline, impacting farmers’ ability to sell their produce.
Market committees, which traditionally facilitate the sale of agricultural produce, will remain closed until procurement issues are resolved. Farmers are advised to seek alternative channels for selling their crops.
The government said it will monitor the situation closely and reopen the offices once the procurement process is back on track.
