Rain drenches wheat, mustard in Haryana mandis

Hindustan Times  

Wheat and mustard lying in the open in the mandis of various district of the state, including Rohtak, Bhiwani, Hisar, Charkhi Dadri and Jhajjar, got drenched after the rain on Saturday and Sunday. Farmer leader Dayanand Punia, who is the state secretary of the All-India Kisan Sabha, said farmers are facing problems in unloading wheat and mustard in the mandis of Bhiwani, Hisar, Dadri and various other districts due to space crunch. “There is no space left and farmers are waiting to sell their produce in government mandi as the price of mustard in the open market has fallen,” he added. The Leader of Opposition and former chief minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who visited several mandis in Sonepat, Rohtak and Hisar, said farmers are forced to sell their produce ₹500-1,000 per quintal less in the open mandis and the government should compensate them under the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana.
