MULTAN: The food department introduced an android application to facilitate farmers for seeking gunny bags during the wheat procurement campaign.

The farmers would not have to visit the office but submit their applications online. An android application namely ‘Bardana’ was introduced for this purpose.

According to official sources, the farmers could download the application from playstore.

The gunny bags would be issued on a first come first serve basis.

A farmer could get a maximum of 500 gunny bags. The farmers were given the facility to submit dues in their nearby banks.

The government will purchase wheat against Rs1,400 per 40kgs this year. The online application system was introduced to avoid gathering in food department centres.
