Vigilance and Enforcement (V&E) Additional Director General (V&E) Shankha Brata Bagchi has warned seed and fertilizer traders against sale of spurious and sub-standard seeds during the kharif season.
He appealed to the traders not to deceive farmers, and warned of severe action against those who manufactured and marketed spurious seeds.
“Farmers will start sowing once the monsoon arrives for the kharif season. The V&E, Agriculture, Revenue and other departments will conduct surprise checks on seed and fertilizer godowns and retail outlets across the State,” he said.
