HYDERABAD: Stating that only about 50% of the total paddy brought to the procurement centres has been purchased, the Congress has demanded that chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao ensure that procurement process is expedited as unseasonal rains and early monsoon are worrying the farmers.
AICC spokesperson Dasoju Sravan said KCR should hold a meeting with bankers and ensure that fresh crop loans are given to farmers as the banks have stopped it.
