Yogi Adityanath makes takes stock of wheat procurement

Making a surprise visit to Kanpur’s Naubasta Galla Mandi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who presided over the closing ceremony of three-day long UP Defence Expo-18, took stock of wheat procurement on Friday.

According to officials, the chief minister’s visit comes in the wake of frequent complaints made by farmers against middlemen who are allegedly active in the procurement process.

"The chief minister soon after interacting with senior officials at Chandra Shekhar Azad (CSA) University, made a surprise visit at wheat procurement centre at Naubasta Galla Mandi," District Magistrate Vijay Vishwas Pant said.

Several farmers expressed their happiness and gathered around Adityanath on his visit, the DM said, adding that he spoke to the farmers directly and asked if they were able to sell their crops at government procurement centres without help of middlemen.
