With paddy arrivals at direct purchase centres (DPCs) in Uppilliyapuram taluk picking up over the past few days, the district administration has instructed Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation staff to ensure that the produce brought in by farmers is procured swiftly. Collector S. Sivarasu, who inspected some of the DPCs in the taluk last week, has instructed TNCSC to hire additional staff, if necessary, for procurement. “No farmer should be affected and paddy from farmers who have been issued tokens should be procured swiftly,” he said.
