Palaniswami urges TN government to ensure supply of quality paddy seeds

While the AIADMK co-coordinator said the government should look into the quality of paddy seeds, party coordinator O. Pannerselvam said the State should issue death certificates for those who died of COVID-19 as per ICMR guidelines

AIADMK co-coordinator and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, on Friday expressed concern over reports of farmers not getting quality paddy seeds. In this context, he referred to the experience of a farmer in Varagur, near Thiruvaiyaru of Thanjavur district wherein nothing had germinated even after 12 days of sowing. Apart from compensating the farmer, the authorities should look into whether there was a similar experience felt by others elsewhere.
