Petition submitted to control bribery at paddy procurement centers

A farmer submitted a petition at the grievance meeting held at the Thiruvarur Collector's office, requesting intervention to stop bribery at paddy procurement centers.

The farmer from the Valangaiman area alleged that a bribe of Rs 76 lakh was demanded for the sale of his paddy. He informed the Collector that authorities are demanding 42 kg of grain instead of the standard 40 kg 600 grams, which heavily impacts his income.
