Odisha Paddy Procurement Encounters Analysis Amidst Allegations of Systemic Failing
Previous Principal Minister Naveen Patnaik has actually criticized the Odisha federal government over declared failings in Kharif paddy purchase, citing “complete systemic failing” and damaged election assurances. In a letter to Chief Priest Mohan Charan Majhi, Patnaik laid out numerous crucial issues:
- “Katni Chhatni”: Accusations of illegal deductions from farmers’ produce.
- Input Aid Cap: Problems over the 150 -quintal restriction on input subsidies.
- Repayment Delays: Failure to follow the promised 48 -hour Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) timeline.
Patnaik advised immediate activity to deal with these complaints, caution of possible farmer demonstrations. Government officials associate the problems to the state’s farming development and storage space ability constraints.
