Don’t go for distress sale of paddy, Harish Rao tells farmers

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and former minister T. Harish Rao has asked paddy farmers in Siddipet district not to go for distress sale of their produce and assured that he would speak to the authorities concerned for speedy procurement in the wake of untimely rain in different parts of the State.

Mr. Rao visited the paddy procurement centre at Mettu Bandala village of Pedda Kodur mandal in Siddipet district on Sunday and interacted with farmers. They explained to the BRS leader that part of their produce was soaked by rain in spite of covering it with polythene sheets.
