In a significant move to support farmers, Haryana's Agriculture Minister Shyam Singh Rana announced that mandis will now operate 24 hours a day during the ongoing procurement season, addressing farmers' concerns about selling their crops. Previously, mandis were open only from 6 am to 8 pm. Farmers can bring their produce using various transport methods, including traditional bullock carts, and if their tractor-trailer lacks a number plate, they can display the registration number using paint or stickers. The registration process for the 'Meri Fasal Mera Byora' portal is accessible to farmers, landowners, or those cultivating land on lease, with biometric verification ensuring transparency. The government assures that every grain will be purchased at the Minimum Support Price (MSP), aiming to eliminate delays and inconveniences in the selling process. Temporary staff have been deployed to facilitate the issuance of gate passes, further enhancing efficiency during this critical period.
