These officers will personally visit the Mandis of the districts allotted to them and monitor all the preparations there and ensure complete control over all the procurement-related works.
A letter in this regard has been issued by Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal on Wednesday.
The official spokesperson said that VS Kundu has been deputed as in-charge of Rewari. SN Roy has been deputed as in-charge of Hisar. Dr Mahavir Singh has been deputed as in-charge of the Jhajjar.

Vineet Garg has been deputed as in-charge of Fatehabad. Anil Malik has been deputed as in-charge of Faridabad district. G Anupama has been deputed as in-charge of the Kurukshetra.
He further said that AK Singh has been deputed as in-charge of Panipat. Arun Kumar Gupta has been deputed as in-charge of Yamunanagar. Vijayendra Kumar has been deputed as in-charge of Sirsa district.

The in-charges will monitor whether the paddy conforming to specifications of the Government of India is purchased on MSP or not. Further, in order to ensure space in the Mandi for the arrival of paddy, these in-charges will ensure the lifting of last year’s wheat before the Kharif marketing season 2022-23. The availability of moisture meters with the market committees and state procurement agencies will also be ensured by them.
They will also ensure that the purchased paddy is lifted from the Mandis on day to day basis, so as to avoid any glut and make room for the fresh arrivals, he added.
The in-charges will also check the H register of the previous 4-5 days to see whether all the arrivals have been recorded variety-wise and have been sold after cleaning.
They will also check the moisture level of the paddy purchased and paddy ready to purchase so that any dispute between the farmers and the procurement agencies can be avoided. The in-charges will also ensure arrangements for ‘pucca phars’, electricity, drinking water and toilets, etc. in the Mandis.
The Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board has installed dryers in the Mandis for the purchase of maize and the in-charges are required to check the operation of these dryers.
Special control rooms will also be set up in the Mandis for redressal of farmers’ grievances. The State Government is committed to make payments to farmers in their accounts within 72 hours from the date of approval of the I-form.
