Nirmal: District Collector Abhilasha Abhinav has directed officials to make sure the process of buying paddy is smooth and transparent.
On Wednesday, she unexpectedly visited the paddy procurement centers at Sarangapur and Jam.
She checked how paddy was being weighed and loaded. Abhilasha told officials to quickly buy the remaining paddy and send it to the mills. She recommended hiring 20 more workers at each center to speed up the process.
Abhilasha reassured farmers that even paddy affected by unexpected rains will be completely purchased. She emphasized that all farmers’ paddy will be bought without any confusion.
At the Jam center, she cautioned rice millers after receiving complaints from farmers about paddy being unfairly reduced. She instructed officials to weigh the paddy accurately and transport it promptly.
Additional Collector (Revenue) Kishore Kumar, District Civil Supplies Officer Kiran Kumar, District Manager Sudhakar, Tehsildar Sridevi, and other officials were present during these inspections.
