Bumper crop of wheat this year together with not very bad weather has brought cheers on the faces of farmers as well anyone who is related with farm business including traders and commission agents in the Anaj Mandi’s of Sirsa and its townships. The unexpected huge arrival of wheat has come with its own perils especially in the Anaj Mandis, where wheat glut has made life of the dwellers of the Anaj Mandis and surrounding area miserable. Kapil Garg (Advocate) whose family also owns a commission agency business in the Anaj Mandi, Sirsa, informed SirsaNews that it’s true that the arrival has been much more than previous year but the bigger reason of the wheat glut is whimsical attitude of those who are engaged in lifting of the wheat, the contractors are not co-operating in lifting of the wheat on one pretext or the other especially in the additional Mandis. The monopoly of the contractor results in coercion upon the Commission Agents to pay extra money to the tractor owners to make the glut clear around their establishments. Similar views were expressed by Lalit Jain another commission agent in Sirsa main Anaj Mandi. Wheat can be seen in dunes and bags in all the colonies around the Anaj Mandi one of the reasons for this is also that some of the commission agents for their convenience make arrangements for purchase of wheat around the streets of their residential areas. Mr Kapil Garg has sent few pictures of the wheat glut taken via his cell phone s5360.



According to Mr Subhash Bishnoi an employee of HSAMB, this year Sirsa is expected to be number one in wheat procurement in Haryana. 

Sh. Padam Jain INLD leader who is also running a commission agency business in the Anaj Mandi alleges that the government officials have closed their eyes to the whims of the contractor, the sufferers are farmers and the Commission agents.

It is not first time that wheat lifting is a problem. It happens every 6 months time repeatedly for wheat, paddy and perhaps cotton. I don't understand why the existing problems are not taken seriously and addressed in the following season. Thank god not much rains otherwise same old story of wet weather problem would have been a news.
