New Delhi [India], December 31 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday has assured Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel of necessary steps after the latter informed the prime minister about the delay in permission for paddy procurement in the Kharif marketing year 2020-21. The delay in paddy purchase will have an adverse impact on the livelihood of the registered 21.52 lakh farmers of Chhattisgarh. The lack of permission from the central government has created a logjam involving non-lifting of paddy at the procurement centres. This delayed disposal is likely to cause damage to the stored paddy, Baghel said.
