Grains Procurement Problems: ప్రభుత్వాలు మారుతున్నా, ధాన్యం సేకరణలో అధికారుల తీరుతెన్నులు మారడం లేదు. తేమశాతం మొదలు అనేక ఇతర కారణాల పేరిట రైతులకు అడుగడుగునా సతాయింపులే ఎదురవుతున్నాయి. గత ప్రభుత్వ విధానాల వల్ల ఎన్నడూలేనంతగా ఇబ్బందులుపడ్డ అన్నదాతలు, ప్రభుత్వం మారాకైనా పరిస్థితి మారుతుందని ఆశించారు. కానీ అవే విధానాలు కొనసాగుతున్నాయని నిరాశ వ్యక్తం చేస్తున్నారు.

00:00In the past five years, due to heavy rains and adverse weather conditions like floods,
00:07due to government restrictions in the rice harvest,
00:10the state has reduced the yield and production of rice.
00:13In this crisis, from the name Namodu in the Farmers' Service Centre,
00:16farmers are faced with difficulties step by step until they reach the mill.
00:20There is a dire situation to be faced for rice production.
00:24In Kharif, those who have to produce up to 40 lakh acres,
00:28the yield has fallen to 33 lakhs and 50,000 acres.
00:31If compared to 2019-2020, in 2023-2024,
00:35the yield of 18 lakh tons of rice has reduced.
00:38The farmers who say that they are producing rice in a desperate manner,
00:41say that they have never seen such a situation in the previous government.
00:45Even if the authorities expect that the situation will change this year,
00:48there is no hope that the situation will change.
00:51When the problem arises, without following the proper decisions,
00:54they take measures based on the current situation.
00:57Every restriction that the authorities bring,
01:00the farmers are forced to face,
01:02but they are not able to solve the farmers' problems.
01:18The Chief Minister, Chandrababu,
01:20has instructed the authorities not to repeat the problems
01:23faced by the previous government.
01:25He has asked the authorities to simplify the distribution of rice.
01:28He has asked the authorities not to deposit the rice in the farmers' accounts
01:31within 48 hours.
01:32The government, which has given the order,
01:34is distributing the rice within 24 hours.
01:36But the distribution of rice has not changed.
01:38The farmers are being harassed in the name of rice.
01:40In Krishna district, the farmers are bearing the expenses of the rice.
01:44Still, we have to wait for days.
01:47They are saying that the yield of rice is more than 17.
01:50They are reducing the weight to 5 kgs per basket
01:53They are increasing the price of alcohol.
01:55In some places, the price of alcohol is less than Rs.200 per basket.
01:59The technical assistants of the farmers' service centres
02:02are giving more importance to the farmers' rights than the farmers' rights.
02:17In the past, the farmers' association,
02:19the district marketing society,
02:21and the purchase centres were set up.
02:23The farmers used to sell the rice directly there.
02:26Since the millers were there, they used to purchase the rice by looking at it.
02:30The government used to take the rice to the mill from there.
02:33They used to deposit the money immediately.
02:35In order to collect the rice,
02:37a large book was created in the name of the power surfers in the previous government.
02:40Because of these restrictions, the farmers are facing a lot of problems.
02:43In the end, what the millers have said is right.
02:45What they have put is going to waste.
02:47The same situation continues for the past five years.
02:50The government is trying to solve all these problems
02:52and implement the simple policies of the country before 2019.
02:55This is what the farmers want.
