TRS senior leader and Siddipet MLA T. Harish Rao on Tuesday lamented that the farmers were not getting remunerative price to their produce as the State government had failed to open crop purchase centers on time.
Inaugurating a crop purchase center at Iricode village in Siddipet mandal, Harish Rao said the farmers were selling corn at Rs 100 less than the minimum price as the Market authorities were not purchasing corn. He said that he brought the issue to the notice of the Joint Collector and Civil Supplies Department Deputy Manager and urged them to set up crop purchase centers.
He also laid foundation stone and performed Bhoomi Puja to the Iricode school model building. He also inaugurated a mid-day meal kitchen, Pika Building and SC Social Welfare Building at Chinna Gundavalli village later. (NSS)
