March 28, 2022: Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar said on Monday that wheat would be procured from farmers at the rate of Rs2,200 per maund as the provincial cabinet approved buying 3500,000 metric tons (MT) of wheat and the target could be enhanced if needed.

The government would ensure the protection of farmers' rights and effective measures would be taken to curb illegal transportation of wheat, he added.

An eight-member committee had been constituted at the provincial level for the wheat procurement drive and monitoring committees would also monitor the procurement campaign at different levels while ministers, special assistants and advisors would monitor the procurement campaign in the respective districts, he noted.
