The agitations launched by farmers in Bareipali in Sambalpur district and Godabhaga in Bargarh district protesting the centralised token system for paddy procurement were withdrawn on Thursday.
Farmer leader Ashok Pradhan said the protest in Sambalpur was called off after an assurance given by Minister Susanta Singh and Rairakhol BJD MLA Rohit Pujari to resolve the issues of peasants of the Hirakud dam catchment areas.
After a discussion with agitators, MLA Pujari informed media that farmers who do not have tokens can get the same within three to four hours at the mandis and participate in paddy procurement.
Minister Singh also held talks separately with Bargarh farmers, following which they called off their strike.
Earlier in the day, farmers had blocked roads by keeping paddy sacks demanding withdrawal of the token system.
Paddy procurement in western Odisha is expected to be normal from Friday.
