Minister promises paddy payments within 15 days of issuing PRS

Minister for Food and Civil Supplies G.R. Anil promised paddy farmers here on Friday that the cash for the paddy procured from them would be given away within 15 days after getting the paddy receipt sheet (PRS). The Minister’s assurance came during a face-to-face with the farmer representatives held at the Collectorate here on Friday.

He said that the problems of the farmers would be addressed one by one. In the next season, paddy procurement and the cash distribution would be made smooth and perfect, the Minister said.

“The government aims at saving the farmers from their troubles. The government will help the farmers. In the current season, paddy procurement will be ensured without any land or quantity limit,” he said.
