The storage facilities in Punjab are facing a significant challenge due to the accumulation of old paddy. With new procurement season approaching, the state's granaries are already filled to capacity, leaving little room for fresh stock. This has raised concerns about the state's ability to manage its grain storage. The excess old paddy is occupying valuable space, making it difficult for the authorities to store the new crop. The situation is a cause for concern, as it may impact the state's agricultural sector.
