Moga, October 17
The Punjab State Agricultural Marketing Board, popularly known as the mandi board, has launched an electronic registration system for facilitating rice millers to import basmati variety from other states.
Since the Punjab Government has banned the import of non-basmati rice/paddy from other states during the procurement season, the millers engaged in the custom milling of basmati varieties were facing problems and harassment at the hands of the police and enforcement agencies. The Inter-State Basmati Movement portal (emandikaran-pb.in) mandates the rice millers and traders to declare the details of their basmati consignment in advance to facilitate its entry in the state. — TNS
