Paddy procurement in Ganjam

BERHAMPUR: The district administration of Ganjam will start paddy procurement for the ongoing kharif season from December 23.

This was announced by collector Dibya Jyoti Parida at a district-level meeting attended by both the MPs, local MLAs and officials.

In view of the hiccups in paddy procurement process in the previous years, the district administration has chalked out plans to prevent distress sale by farmers this time.
