To ensure hassle-free procurement for the remaining Kharif season, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Friday written to the Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Ram Vilas Paswan seeking driage at the rate of two percent instead of one percent of Minimum Support Price (MSP). CM, in his letter to Paswan, pointed out that such relaxation was warranted primarily on account of excessive, abnormal or untimely rain and hailstorm that occurred immediately before harvesting, which had adversely impacted the out-turn ratio, thus causing problems in procuring paddy due to the relatively high-moisture content.
