Despite ongoing crackdowns, diversion of custom milled rice (CMR) continues in Telangana’s Mancherial and Nirmal districts, leading to significant government revenue losses. Recently, two millers in Mancherial were booked for diverting over 12,686 metric tonnes of rice worth Rs. 45 crore.
Several rice mills in Khammam have defaulted on delivering huge quantities of custom milled rice (CMR) to the government and are found to have diverted the rice.
