For the Rabi season, there would be a consultation meeting in mid-February, 2020 between the FCI and the Odisha government officials to work out solutions to ameliorate this situation.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
