Raipur, June 2: Kuldeep Sharma, the Collector of Balodabazar in Chhattisgarh, held a deadline meeting on Tuesday to review the management of plans, construction work, and departmental activities. He emphasized ensuring the distribution of quality fertilizers and seeds to farmers through all committees for the upcoming Kharif season.
During the meeting, the Collector noted that with the formation of 39 new committees, there are now a total of 168 cooperative societies operating in the district. All societies are equipped with POS machines to facilitate the distribution of fertilizers, seeds, and loans to farmers. He instructed that intensive inspections by flying squads and revenue officials should continue to ensure quality and transparency in the availability of fertilizers and seeds at the committees and agricultural centers. Any irregularities found at any center should lead to action against the responsible parties.
