# Rice millers issue ultimatum ahead of paddy procurement in Odisha

> The All Odisha Rice Millers Association gave the state government a 10-day ultimatum, threatening to stop paddy lifting and milling from December 1 unless demands are met. Millers cite storage shortages, with about 30 lakh tonnes of rice from the previous kharif season still unlifted.
