Thuggi (Mandi Fraud / Cheating)·ٹھگی
Roman Urdu: Thuggi / Thugi
Pakistani vernacular for cheating in a mandi transaction — most commonly under-weighing on the kanda, over-stating moisture/dirt deductions, fake bag counts, or padded bardana weight. Thuggi is the single biggest reason farmers prefer one adhati over another. Digital, itemised parchis eliminate most thuggi vectors because the math is visible to the farmer.
Example usage
Example: Thuggi (Mandi Fraud / Cheating) is recorded in the daily mandi khata so party balances and settlement details remain clear.
