AP Government Will Buy All Grains: Jagan

To give farmers confidence, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has stated that the government will buy all grains, and this information should be communicated to all farmers. The Chief Minister gave the bureaucrats free rein when it came to buying grain. He requested assurances from YSRC MLAs and officials for farmers affected by the cyclone that the government would also purchase the wet and discolored paddy. During a review meeting he conducted here on Tuesday regarding crops affected by the storm and the purchase of paddy, the chief minister evaluated the degree of support given by the government machinery to farmers. “If necessary, officials should buy the wet and discolored paddy and relax the rules to give farmers justice,” he said. The Civil Supplies Corporation would carry the rice to rice mills, and RBKs should be the purchasing entity for these purchases. ” The Chief Minister requested that officials use the free crop insurance program to compensate farmers who lost crops due to cyclones, pointing out that the government has already taken action to provide input subsidies. The enumeration procedure has begun, authorities informed the CM, and the lists will be available for viewing at the RBKs for social audits from December 19 to December 22. Farmers would file complaints, and district collectors would review them before forwarding the final compensation lists to the government. Prior to Sankranti, the Chief Minister requested that they make sure the farmers received their input subsidy. The MD of the Civil Supplies Corporation, Veerapandyan, commissioner Arunkumar, agriculture special commissioner C. Harikiran, senior CMO officials, MLAs Perni Nani, Kodali Nani, Vallabhaneni Vamsi, Samineni Udayabhanu, and housing minister Simhadri Ramesh were among those present.
