Order issued to open paddy procurement centers in Cuddalore district
With the Kuruvai harvest season peaking in Cuddalore district, the government has ordered the opening of direct paddy procurement centers and has taken action against reported corruption.
In view of the peak Kuruvai paddy cultivation in Cuddalore district, orders have been issued to open direct paddy procurement centers. These centers will be operational across 10 revenue taluks, including Panruti, Vriddhachalam, and Tittakudi.
Previously, farmers had raised complaints regarding irregularities and bribery at these procurement centers. In response, a government minister has recommended the suspension of an official accused of taking bribes. While this action has caused concern among the staff, the farmers have expressed satisfaction.
