As per news report of NDTV, the protest had caused huge traffic disruptions on National Highway 44 around Kurukshetra. The state has now said it will start moving all paddy stored in grain markets, though official purchase documents will be processed on October 1 as announced earlier, Gurnam Singh Charuni, whose organisation Bharatiya Kisan Union-Charuni was leading the protests, said. It's their headache now where they are going to store it, he added. The state has also increased the cap on procurement in five districts that see high yield of the crop -- from 22 to 30 quintals per acre, he said, adding that in several other districts, it has been increased to 28 quintals per acre.
