Do not take up paddy harvest without getting tokens, farmers told

Nalgonda: The district police on Monday made several suggestions to the farmers to avoid pile up of the paddy-loaded tractors at the rice mills and market yards. In view of piling up of 200 paddy loaded tractors at Chillapalli bridge in Nereducherla mandal of Suryapet mandal, police has asked the farmers not to take up harvesting the paddy crop without getting the tokens issued by civil supplies department fixing a date to them.

Paddy loaded tractors, which were coming to the Agricultural market of Miryalaguda from Nereducherla, have piled up at Chillapalli bridge and at some of the rice mills. The situation arose due to the farmers taking up harvesting without heeding to the advise of the district administration declaring a two-day crop cutting holiday i.e. Friday and Sunday. The rice millers would purchase the paddy from the farmers, who would furnish the tokens issued to them, according to a police press release.
