Karimnagar: MCK general body passes unanimous resolution for paddy procurement
Karimnagar: The general body meeting of Municipal Corporation of Karimnagar, passed a unanimous resolution demanding that the central government purchase each and every grain produced during Yasangi and Rabi seasons in the state. The general body meeting, held under the chair of Mayor Y Sunil Rao here on Thursday, adopted the resolution in the wake of the union government’s refusal to procure paddy crop from the state.
