Vigilance and Enforcement teams inspect paddy purchasing centres 

Guntur: Five teams of Vigilance and Enforcement officials led by Regional Vigilance and Enforcement officer P Sobha Majari inspected the 14 paddy purchasing centres in the district on Tuesday and verified the records. They verified paddy purchasing process at the ground level.

The aim of conducting the inspection is to check whether the farmers are benefiting under the system. The government is purchasing the paddy through the PACS, GDCMS, Velugu and provided moisture measurement machines and weighing machines.

During inspection, the officials found that weighting machines were not being used by the officials and the staff were not properly maintaining the records.
