As the harvest season begins, the Nagapattinam administration has put in place measures to prevent middlemen from transporting paddy from neighbouring districts to the Direct Purchase Centres (DPCs).
The district administration has acted upon information that harvested paddy of samba/ thaladi had been surreptitiously stocked in Sikkal and Thirumarugal areas. Collector A. Arun Thamburaj has constituted teams consisting of officials of Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation, Village Administrative Officers and Assistant Agricultural Officers to carry out inspections and to make sure that paddy loads from outside Nagapattinam are not brought to the local DPCs with fake documentation.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
