Khordha, Jan 14: Farmers sat on a dharna at their village Mandi at Kantia in the Jatni area in Khordha district in protest against the cut of four to five kg of every quintal of paddy procured from them by Mandi authorities.
The farmers insisted that all their paddy procured in full weight without any deduction as the quality of their corn is quite good. They slammed the Cooperative Society Secretary for the deduction of paddy in the name of FAQ.
The Nabanirman Krushak Sangathan extended support to the farmers.
