Wheat Weigh-In Row: District Admin Cracks Down on Market Irregularities

Following complaints from prominent farmers’ unions like the BKU (Mann) and BKU (Sir Chhotu), the district administration has launched a comprehensive inspection drive at local grain markets. Allegations of irregularities in wheat weighing prompted this swift action.

The administration is meticulously examining gunny bags filled with wheat, ensuring accurate weight measurement at the point of procurement. This is being carried out across multiple grain markets within the district.

Simultaneously, authorities are conducting thorough checks of wheat stocks stored in various godowns. This aims to verify the reported quantities against official records and address any discrepancies.

The move comes as a direct response to farmer anxieties regarding fair compensation for their produce. The ongoing inspections underscore the administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability in the procurement process. This vigilance is crucial for maintaining farmers’ trust and ensuring a smooth harvest season. The impact on the upcoming Rabi marketing season will be keenly observed.
