LOHIAN KHAS
The total purchase of wheat grain by the state government agencies from farmers reached 3 lakh 27529 quintals this year, less than the fixed target of 3 lakh 63383 quintals in grain markets under the jurisdiction of the Lohian Khas market committee.
Committee secretary Tejindar Kumar said this is due to the 10 percent less cultivation of the wheat crop by farmers compared to last year.
