A vigilance cell attached to the Department of Agriculture and to be headed by an officer of the rank of Joint Director, was inaugurated for Mysuru Revenue Division here on Monday.
Minister for Agriculture B.C.Patil, who inaugurated it, said that so far there were two such cells for the entire State – at Bengaluru and Belagavi - and vested with the responsibility of overseeing 15 districts each. Not only was it cumbersome but was not practical and hence the government conceived the idea of such units at Mysuru and Kalaburagi of which the Mysuru office has been inaugurated.
