Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has announced a significant change in wheat procurement policies, allowing farmers to sell their wheat at government procurement centres without needing to register online. This decision comes as many farmers faced challenges due to the mandatory registration process, which hindered their ability to sell their crops.
