&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The situation, according to the Punjab food and civil supplies department, has arisen due to delay in the Centre&amp;rsquo;s approval to grant relaxation in the procurement norms as the crop in the current rabi season has percentage of shriveled grain more than the permissible limit of six&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chandigarh: &lt;/em&gt;There is a glut-like situation in the mandis and procurement centres of Punjab as at least 38 lakh tonne wheat is waiting to be lifted and taken to the storage points.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The situation, according to the state food and civil supplies department, has arisen due to delay in the Centre&amp;rsquo;s approval to grant relaxation in the procurement norms as the crop in the current rabi season has percentage of shriveled grain more than the permissible limit of six.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The grain suffered quality loss due sudden rise in temperature in mid-March, which affected the yield as well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As per a report from the state department, most of the mandis in Punjab, except those in Moga, Tarn Taran and Amritsar, are full of wheat either filled in bags or kept in open as the crop in these three districts faced negligible quality loss.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There are at least 2,321 mandis and centres in the state, where procurement operations are going on. &amp;ldquo;The Food Corporation of India (FCI) is not accepting most of the grain which has suffered quality loss (shriveled) more than the permissible limits because the Union ministry of food and public distribution has not allowed relaxations despite our repeated requests at different levels,&amp;rdquo; said an official of the Punjab food department.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The situation, according to the Punjab food and civil supplies department, has arisen due to delay in the Centre&amp;rsquo;s approval to grant relaxation in the procurement norms as the crop in the current rabi season has percentage of shriveled grain more than the permissible limit of six&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chandigarh: &lt;/em&gt;There is a glut-like situation in the mandis and procurement centres of Punjab as at least 38 lakh tonne wheat is waiting to be lifted and taken to the storage points.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The situation, according to the state food and civil supplies department, has arisen due to delay in the Centre&amp;rsquo;s approval to grant relaxation in the procurement norms as the crop in the current rabi season has percentage of shriveled grain more than the permissible limit of six.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The grain suffered quality loss due sudden rise in temperature in mid-March, which affected the yield as well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As per a report from the state department, most of the mandis in Punjab, except those in Moga, Tarn Taran and Amritsar, are full of wheat either filled in bags or kept in open as the crop in these three districts faced negligible quality loss.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There are at least 2,321 mandis and centres in the state, where procurement operations are going on. &amp;ldquo;The Food Corporation of India (FCI) is not accepting most of the grain which has suffered quality loss (shriveled) more than the permissible limits because the Union ministry of food and public distribution has not allowed relaxations despite our repeated requests at different levels,&amp;rdquo; said an official of the Punjab food department.&lt;/p&gt;

Glut-like situation in mandis as Punjab awaits relaxation in procurement norms -Gurpreet Singh Nibber

-Hindustan Times The situation, according to the Punjab food and civil supplies department, has arisen due to delay in the Centre’s approval to grant relaxation in the procurement norms as the crop in the current rabi season has percentage of shriveled grain more than the permissible limit of six Chandigarh: There is a glut-like situation in the mandis and procurement centres of Punjab as at least 38 lakh tonne wheat is waiting to be lifted and taken to the storage points. The situation, according to the state food and civil supplies department, has arisen due to delay in the Centre’s approval to grant relaxation in the procurement norms as the crop in the current rabi season has percentage of shriveled grain more than the permissible limit of six. The grain suffered quality loss due sudden rise in temperature in mid-March, which affected the yield as well. As per a report from the state department, most of the mandis in Punjab, except those in Moga, Tarn Taran and Amritsar, are full of wheat either filled in bags or kept in open as the crop in these three districts faced negligible quality loss. There are at least 2,321 mandis and centres in the state, where procurement operations are going on. “The Food Corporation of India (FCI) is not accepting most of the grain which has suffered quality loss (shriveled) more than the permissible limits because the Union ministry of food and public distribution has not allowed relaxations despite our repeated requests at different levels,” said an official of the Punjab food department.
