Chhattisgarh Paddy Procurement 2026: Strict Biometric Rules And Token Rejection Policy Implemented

Dhamtari district in <b>Chhattisgarh</b> will commence minimum support price paddy procurement from November 15, introducing stringent administrative guidelines for local farmers. Under the revised framework, authorities have mandated <b>biometric verification</b> to streamline operations and ensure complete transparency across all designated procurement centers. State officials have established separate regulatory frameworks for marginal, small, and large farmers to manage distribution efficiently. The policy transition follows previous agricultural governance efforts aimed at curbing irregularities and optimizing resource allocation within the public distribution and procurement ecosystem. According to administrative directives, farmers face strict penalties for logistical errors, as any rejected token will not be reissued, directly barring individuals from completing their sales.
