Jorwal, who reviewed the procurement arrangements of paddy in the district, mentioned that every single grain of paddy will be procured, and directions have been issued to procure the grains as soon as the farmers arrive at the grain markets. He added that the administration has made extensive arrangements to ensure that the farmers do not face any problems while selling their produce.
