Because of market disruptions, agricultural output continues to make headlines. Here, incidents of vegetable merchants acting arbitrarily or encroaching are occasionally exposed. In e-mandi, farmers who were previously distressed, a new issue has surfaced. Farmers are concerned about certain market clerks' arbitrary behavior in this area. Some animals are extorting farmers for an unreasonable sum in exchange for shed space.
Remarkably, an auction shed for garlic and onions has been constructed on the grounds of the Agricultural Produce Market in Sehore, where farmers have arranged to sell their produce. When it's against the law, some animals obstruct the area by stuffing stones within the shed, making room impossible for farmers who come to sell their produce. Porters who halt for space must be paid between Rs 100 and Rs 300 by farmers.
farmers' dual burden
It is evident that farmers must now pay extortion money in addition to the market tax they must pay in order to sell their produce in the market, and that the responsible officials have done nothing to address these issues. are beginning to. We have also lodged complaints regarding this extortion with the market authority. Farmers will protest if this matter is not handled, though, as it is now.
Buying garlic and onions at the vegetable market
Some garlic onion vendors are doing as they want and breaking the regulations by purchasing garlic onions in the morning at the vegetable market due to the carelessness and silence of the market management.
These dealers purchase onions and garlic at throwaway prices and sell the produce at auction, keeping the farmers out of the market. which several complaints have been made about. However, nothing has been done. The secretary of the Agricultural Produce Market in Sehore, Narendra Meshram, stated that if farmers complain to him, a thorough investigation will be conducted even though he currently does not have any information in this area.
