Saini said the state government has worked for the interests of commission agents.

“Our government has increased the commission of the commission agents from Rs 46 per quintal to Rs 55 per quintal. The additional burden of Rs 9 per quintal will be borne by the state government, which has resolved all the problems of rice millers in every possible way. A bonus of Rs 62.58 crore has been given to all rice millers till August 31 for delivery of CMR in the state,” he said.
