Chouhan assures farmers of procuring every grain of wheat

The state government is even prepared to distribute wheat to the poor if the Centre permits, Chouhan said here last evening after inaugurating 'Simhastha-2016' by laying the foundation stone of the zero-point railway over bridge to be constructed at a cost of Rs 30 crore.

The wheat procurement work had been going on smoothly, but the shortage of gunny bags had created some problem, he said, adding that the state government is tackling the situation efficiently and the farmers would have no inconvenience.

The Chief Minister also said that Madhya Pradesh had clocked over 10 per cent growth rate, which is higher than the national average.

Chouhan further said that Ujjain would be developed as a unique city in accordance with its position as one of the most important centres of pilgrimage.
