Divulging the details, sub divisional magistrate Manjeet Kaur on Thursday said that a total of 35,891 quintal paddy crop has been procured by the agencies across all 16 purchase centres situated in the Jagraon sub division.

She said that due to the state-level strike by workers at grain markets, the procurement was at a slow pace.

The SDM further stated that a vast mechanism has been put in place to facilitate farmers during the procurement season. The accommodation arrangements have already been made for farmers, she said, adding that a mobile dispensary has been stationed at grain markets to facilitate labourers.

Likewise, mosquito repellents have been distributed to keep them away from dengue.
