Talking about paddy procurement, he informed that adequate paddy purchasing centers have been set up in the district and asked officials to purchase the crop without any delay.
He asked officials to motivate farmers to take up oil palm cultivation and also to sanction crop loans to farmers who were ready to cultivate the crop. Focusing more on early yielding variety crops, officials should motivate farmers to take up those crops, he said and added that the state government was also ready to extend its support.
Besides various developmental works, removal of electric poles and towers should be done on a war footing.
