Mancherial: Paddy farmers complained of inordinate delay in purchasing their paddy bags at paddy purchase center in Vempally.
The farmers along with their family members were drying paddy in the market yard as the officials are refusing to purchase paddy citing high moisture content.
Besides this, the hamalis were also demanding the farmers to give them paddy bags in addition to their labour charges for loading bags into the lorry.
When asked, the officials at the market yard said that they were not purchasing paddy due to lack of lorries while the farmers have been waiting for the past 10 days for the officials to show mercy on them.
The unseasonal rains have added woes to the already suffering farmers. They were angry at the officials of paddy purchase centers for not lifting the paddy in time, which they had cultivated by taking lot of pains and borrowing money from others.
The farmers warned that the government should take the responsibility if their produce gets soaked in the rain.
