Priyanka Gandhi Urges Kerala Govt to Extend Paddy Procurement Deadline

Priyanka Gandhi Urges Kerala Govt to Extend Paddy Procurement Deadline

Priyanka Gandhi, a Member of Parliament, wrote a letter to the Kerala government.

She is asking them to give farmers in Wayanad, a district she represents, more time to sell their harvested rice.

Normally, there's a specific time when the government buys rice from farmers.

However, because of changing weather patterns like too much rain and floods, the rice is ready later than usual.

This means farmers are missing the deadline to sell their crops.

Priyanka Gandhi wants the government to allow farmers to sell their rice for an extra 45 days.

She believes it's important to support farmers who work hard to grow our food.
