3 weekly market yards to come up in JSpur

Monday, 12 April 2021 | PNS | JAGATSINGHPUR

Three weekly market yards will be established in the Kujang and Tirtol areas, for which a sum of Rs 10 lakh has been sanctioned for each yard.

The market yards are Kanjiakan Haat in Balia Panchayat and Khosalpur Haat in Hansura Panchayat under Kujang block and Jogania Haat in Porgadei village under Tirtol block.

The farmers from Tirtol, Kujang and Paradip areas have been complaining perennially in facing hardship to fetch their produces far away for sale.

Usually, farmers had been sending vegetables to local Rahama Haat and Kujang Haat for selling. They had been demanding the setting up of local Haat several times and apprised about their concerns to the local administration and MLAs.

During elections campaigning, BJD candidate Sambit Routray had promised to fulfil the demand for local Haats. Meanwhile Tirtol MLA Routray thanked Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and his pro farmers policy for the three market yards in Tirtol and Kujanga blocks.

District Collector Sangram Keshari Mohapatra told how the market yards would come to the benefits of the farmers as well as locals and assured that more yards would be opened in near future. “In view of the massive production and distress sale of vegetables leading to sufferings of farmers, we demand for establishment of at least two cold storages in Tirtol and Kujang block headquarters,” said farmer Sarata Chandra Patnaik from Kujang.
