Farmers in Bargarh district are protesting due to delays in Rabi paddy procurement and token issues. Farmers from the Resham mandi staged a sit-in at the Collector's office, complaining about slow lifting of stock and unfair deductions (Katni Chhatni) by staff. Despite assurances from the Additional Collector, farmers have warned of intensified protests starting Monday if all paddy is not procured by Sunday, especially with monsoon rains threatening to damage their crops. https://www.dharitri.com/farmers-warn-of-agitation-if-paddy-harvest-doesnt-arrive-soon/ #creator program
