The announcement came after Khattar, Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala and Agriculture minister J P Dalal reached New Delhi along with a battery of top government officials to seek a solution to the mounting pressure from the farmers. Before leaving for the national Capital, Khattar had said: “Farmers will not have to face any problem in paddy procurement.”
