Earlier on Tuesday, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had called on the Central Government to assist with the paddy procurement, aiming to clear the state's mandis and facilitate wheat production for the upcoming harvest season.

"I have spoken to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and requested him to find a solution to the problem of rice millers as soon as possible because all the demands are related to the central government," Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said while speaking to ANI on Tuesday.
