Event Summary

India===Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has strongly criticized the India===Indian National Congress and other opposition parties for allegedly misleading farmers regarding crop procurement. Saini asserted that his government has established robust and transparent arrangements for the procurement of mustard and wheat across all mandis in India===Haryana. He highlighted the appointment of nodal officers, district-wise responsibilities for senior officials, and continuous monitoring by ministers and MLAs to ensure a hassle-free process. Saini contrasted these efforts with the alleged mismanagement and insensitivity of the previous India===Indian National Congress government led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda, citing issues like long waiting times, shortage of gunny bags, and inadequate compensation for farmers. The Chief Minister reported that 3,421 metric tonnes of mustard and 3.92 lakh metric tonnes of wheat have been procured, with payments totaling Rs 4.94 crore and Rs 13.09 crore respectively, transferred directly to farmers' bank accounts at Minimum Support Prices. Additionally, Saini addressed recent crop damage due to rains in India===Fatehabad district, India===Hisar district, India===Sirsa district, and India===Kurukshetra district, announcing that a portal has been opened for farmers in affected areas to register their loss claims.
