Wheat soaked in rain, rot in mandis

Uklana Mandi (S): Claims have been made by the government and administration to provide the farmer and his crop with all the facilities in the mandi, but on the ground these claims seem to be hollow. This was seen in the grain market and purchase centers of Uklana. Due to heavy rains in Ukala last night, the wheat market and the wheat lying in the old grain market was completely ruined. The wheat of the farmers lying in the grain market and old grain market became water in the strong rains.

The wheat of the farmers kept under the open sky was completely wasted. Due to the lack of sheds in the mandis, the wheat sacks lying in the open were overflowed. The farmers faced problems due to lack of proper lifting of wheat here. Alam was that the rainy water appeared to flow from under the sacks. Now when the wheat filled bags were opened, the wheat started rotting and smelled a lot. At the same time, stray wheat began to be eaten by stray animals, which can also make them sick. The rotting of wheat made the people living in the mandis difficult. At the same time, the head of the Board of the Sarvapyapar Business, Baburam Mittal said that neither the government nor the market committee administration has any better plan.
