Karnal, April 12 -- Even as opposition parties and farmers continue to oppose the new procurement rules, Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini said on Saturday that the state government has implemented the initiatives to make the purchase system more transparent, secure and farmer-friendly.

"These measures will increase transparency in the crop procurement process, curb unauthorised activities and provide convenient and faster services to farmers," he said.

Saini said the government mandated a three-tier crop verification system, which ensures that the crop brought to procurement centers matches the crop registered by the farmer.

This makes the crop verification process more accurate and reliable, he added.
