Centre To Procure Another 6 Lakh MT Paddy From Telangana

After continuous efforts by the state and fights between the TRS and BJP leaders, the union government has reportedly taken a decision to procure more paddy from the state.

The Centre has agreed to procure another 6 lakh MT of paddy from Telangana in addition to the 40 lakh MT that it has already procured, for the Kharif season.

The efforts made by the state's ministers and MPs, who went to New Delhi on Dec 18 and stayed there for a few days hoping to get a written response from union agriculture minister Piyush Goyal (in vain), thus seem to have borne some results.
