Punjab halts wheat procurement after moisture rises to 22%

Central teams test Punjab wheat quality

Six central government teams are now sampling wheat across districts such as Mohali and Bathinda to check if it meets standards.
The state is standing firm: only good-quality wheat will be accepted, and officials not following rules could face action.
Things got tense after Major Singh of PUNGRAIN in Patiala district was relieved from his procurement duty for refusing to purchase noncompliant wheat, showing just how seriously Punjab is taking these quality issues.
