At once grain has to be purchased

Vijayanagaram: The YSRCP MLAs Sujaya Krishna and Ranga Rao, fired on the government for causing severe difficulties to farmers without buying the  grains from them and it is similar to the last year where the farmers have suffered without grain purchases. They met the joint collector and appealed that at once the food grains have to be purchased from farmers and proper measures should be taken to see that the payment is done immediately.

The hard earned crop took six months to give the grains, however the grains are not yet purchased and the efforts of farmers are going to vain. Though the centres were open by farmers, government is not yet bothered to purchase the food grains expressed their grief. Farmers are worried if rains would spoil the grains. As it was more than a month, the purchase of grains is not yet done, so, they complained to the joint collector.

The leaders fired on the government for causing problems to the farmers by not purchasing the grains as well as Rice mills were also not purchasing and insisted that authorities should take necessary action to avoid loss of farmers. Further on the eve of Pongal, payments should be made as early as possible and the purchase centres should also be increased stated the leaders.
