Rabi season: Govt launches helpline facility for farmers

Friday, 10 April 2020 | PNS | Chandigarh

To facilitate the farmers, Haryana Government on Thursday set up a 24x7 Toll-free helpline facility for procurement during Rabi Season-2020.

A spokesman of Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board said that a dedicated 24x7 Toll-free helpline No. 1800-180-2060 with thirty lines has been established in the Head Office of HSAMB, Sector-6, Panchkula, which would be fully operationalsed by April 13.

An ideal lay out plan for every mandi and procurement centre has been circulated to all districts to ensure that no farmer, labourer, arhtia or transporter gets infected even as every single grain of wheat, gram, mustard and sunflower of every farmer of Haryana is procured at Minimum Support Price (MSP).

The spokesman said a pro forma has been devised which comprises name, father’s name, village and district alongwith the mobile number of the farmer registered on “Meri Fasal Mera Byora” portal. He said that to facilitate the farmers, their issues would be broadly categorized into three parts that is procurement related issues, infrastructure related issues and Corona related issues.

He said two Mandi Supervisors would be deployed shift-wise to resolve the procurement related issues, who would immediately resolve the issues of the farmers after contacting the Secretary-cum-E.O., Market Committee concerned.

Similarly, to deal with the infrastructure related issues, one Sub-Divisional Officer would be deployed shift-wise.
