Mandis and procurement centres in Haryana will remain closed on April 17 and April 18, 2021.

While giving this information an official spokesperson said that farmers are requested not to bring their produce to the mandis on both these days as wheat will not be procured in the state on April 17, 2021 and April 18, 2021 and only the work of lifting wheat procured in the past will be done in the mandis.  Monday,  ie. April 19, 2021, onwards, wheat procurement will continue smoothly in the state as before.

A total of 49.86 lakh tonnes of wheat has arrived in the mandis and procurement centres of Haryana from April 1 to April 16, 2021 out of which a total of 41.35 lakh tonnes of wheat has been procured by the government agencies at the Minimum Support Price (MSP).

Apart from this, the State Government has appointed senior officers for the inspection of mandis, so that there are no obstacles in the procurement work.
