Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has given necessary instructions to the officials to ensure that the farmers of the state do not have to face the problem due to the declared lockdown due to the Coronavirus and unseasonal rains.

CM Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday held a review meeting on the purchase of MSP through video conference, availability of fertilizer and seeds in Kharif season, locust control, Prime Minister crop insurance, and hailstorm at the Chief Minister's residence on Wednesday.

During this time, the CM has said that the fixed targets for procurement of wheat, mustard, and gram at the minimum support price in the state should be achieved under any circumstances. At the same time, he has instructed the officials to work on such a scheme that the purchase limit on the MSP prescribed for the state can be further increased.

During this period, Ashok Gehlot said that the process of procurement should be expedited by the quick resolution of the problems faced by the coronavirus.
