ସାନଖେମୁଣ୍ଡିରେ ଧାନମଣ୍ଡି ପଞ୍ଜୀକରଣର ନୂଆ ନିୟମ କୋହଳ କରିବାକୁ ଦାବି: ମୁଖ୍ୟମନ୍ତ୍ରୀଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ…

According to a report by Dharitri, local officials and farmers in the Sanakhemundi region of Ganjam district, Odisha, have formally requested a relaxation of new government regulations regarding paddy procurement registration. The delegation, led by Sanakhemundi Block Chairman Simanchal Patra, submitted a signed memorandum to the local Tehsildar, Ramchandra Patnaik, addressed to Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi.

The memorandum highlights concerns among the local agricultural community regarding the implementation of new procedural rules for the current paddy procurement season. Farmers and local representatives argue that the updated registration requirements pose significant challenges for those attempting to sell their produce at government-run 'mandis' (market yards). The group is seeking a simplification of these processes to ensure that local farmers can participate in the procurement system without undue administrative burden.

This development reflects ongoing discussions in Odisha regarding the efficiency and accessibility of state-led agricultural support programs. As of now, the local administration has received the memorandum, and the state government has not yet issued a formal response regarding potential adjustments to the registration policy. The situation remains a point of focus for local agricultural unions and regional political representatives who are advocating for policy flexibility to support the farming sector in Ganjam.
