Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini confirmed that wheat procurement operations are ongoing without significant interruptions across the state's mandis and procurement centers. As of April 12, 2026, approximately 39.65 lakh metric tonnes of wheat have arrived, with 10.92 lakh metric tonnes already procured. The government has transferred about ₹188 crore (roughly $22.5 million USD) directly to farmers' bank accounts. Biometric verification for 2.44 lakh farmers has been completed to ensure a smooth procurement process. However, technical glitches in the online procurement portal caused delays, leading to protests from farmers and commission agents over payment issues. The government has opened 264 additional procurement sites to enhance accessibility and transparency in the procurement process, implementing a three-tier crop verification system to ensure accurate matching of crops.
