Punjab Likely to See Record Wheat Arrival of 12.5 Million Metric Tonnes This Year
★ So far, 1.316 million tonnes of wheat have arrived in Punjab’s mandis, out of which nearly 1.1 million tonnes have already been procured.  ★ Due to space constraints in several mandis, farmers are facing difficulties — with long queues forming for selling their produce, and rising temperatures adding to their woes.  
★ This situation isn’t limited to Punjab alone; similar scenes are being reported from other states as well.  
★ These developments clearly indicate that the country is witnessing a record wheat harvest this year.
