Sleepless in mandis: Punjab farmers wait to sell stock amid tardy paddy procurement
- In late October, like he did every year, Devinder Singh, 40, from Punnawal village in Sangrur district of Punjab, harvested paddy from his field. He loaded it on tractor trolleys and went to the mandi (grain market) in his village to sell the produce. He, however, was not prepared for the wait that followed — four nights and five days.
- “Back then I didn’t know that it would take this much time. The government did not buy the produce on the first day and I had to go back home and come with a charpoy at night. I ended up sleeping at the mandi for four nights,” he said, standing amid heaps of grains that were yet to be sold.
- Mr. Devinder is not alone in his misery.
