“Farmers can produce only paddy and boiled rice or parboiled was the problem of millers and not farmers. State Government has been trying to divert the issue of not fulfilling the promise of farm loan waiver. Farmers are receiving notices from banks as the loan waiver was not implemented by the government. Not only that, some banks are not releasing the Rytu Bandhu amount being credited by the government and instead adjusting the amount against the pending loans,” they said adding that some farmers in Gajwel constituency, being represented by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao had also received notices. They demanded that loan waiver be implemented immediately.
