Haryana farmers free to sell products to private parties
Haryana Chief Secretary Dharam Vir said on Wednesday that there was no ban on purchase of wheat by private traders or big companies in the State. However, the companies purchasing wheat above 10,000 tonnes would have to file returns to the State Government. Addressing media persons, he disclosed that earlier the limit for filing the returns to the Central Government on purchase of wheat was 50,000 tonnes which had now been reduced to 25,000 tonnes. The farmers were free to sell their products to private parties in case they got better prices, he added.
