Karnal, Oct. 29 -- Agriculture and farmers welfare minister Shyam Singh Rana said on Wednesday that the Haryana government has included beekeeping under the chief minister's horticulture insurance scheme. "This will provide financial security to beekeeping farmers and entrepreneurs in case of losses due to natural disasters and other causes, and it will promote the beekeeping business. I appeal to beekeepers to take maximum advantage of the government's schemes," he said. Rana was speaking to media persons after chairing a meeting of the District Grievance Redressal Committee in Kaithal. He said that beekeeping farmers often suffered losses due to the lack of a minimum support price (MSP), but chief minister Nayab Singh Saini takes farmers' problems seriously and the government is striving to protect them from any losses. Responding to a question about paddy procurement, the agriculture minister stated that every grain of paddy from farmers will be purchased. "Farmers will not face any difficulties due to the high production. An online portal has been opened to address this issue," the minister said, adding that the lifting of purchased paddy in the markets is being expedited. During the meeting, the minister resolved nine of the 12 complaints on the spot and assigned the remaining three for re-investigation.HTC...
