Chandigarh, November 16

Aam Aadmi Party Budhlada MLA Principal Budhram and Barnala MLA Meet Hayer have accused the state government and mandi board officials of being responsible for mismanagement in making proper arrangements to protect the produce in mandis, leading to their damage due to rains.

In a statement issued from party headquarters on Monday, the AAP leaders alleged that the crop was damaged at mandis due to the incompetence of the state government and marketing board staff.

The AAP leaders claimed that the government and the mandi board officials had failed to put in place proper arrangements for the protection of crops at mandis, which led to the extensive damage of the produce. They said since the dry crop was not procured by the authorities on time, hence the damage.
