Farmers should not face any difficulty at the procurement centres and there should be no under or over weighing, Chouhan said.

The facility of procurement of wheat by giving bonus has been provided to the farmers of Madhya Pradesh only and a strict vigil should be maintained in the border areas to prevent entry of wheat into the state from outside, the CM said.

Chouhan was reviewing activities of the cooperative department here last evening where it was informed that the cooperative societies have stored 2.11 lakh metric tonnes of fertiliser.

Of this, 100,013 tonnes fertiliser has been lifted in advance by the farmers. Full exemption of interest has been given to farmers lifting fertilisers by the end of the current month.
