Deputy Commissioner B. Susheela has directed Agriculture Department officers to take legal action against those creating artificial shortage of fertilizer.
She was addressing a review meeting on sowing seeds, supply of fertilizers, stock maintenance and crop survey for the 2023-24 monsoon season in Yadgir on Wednesday.
“Officers of the Agriculture Department should visit Raitha Samparka Kendra and inspect the available stock and price list put up on the notice board and also interact with farmers at their workplace to ascertain the actual fact of the availability of seeds, fertilizers and chemicals. If any artificial shortage is found, legal action should be initiated against those concerned,” the Deputy Commissioner said.
