Special Correspondent

Dealers told to adhere to rules and guidelines on sale of chemical fertilizers

MAHABUBNAGAR: Collector M. Purushotham Reddy reviewed the fertilizer supply position in Mahabubnagar district with dealers and officials on Saturday.

He asked the dealers to adhere to rules and guidelines on the sale of chemical fertilizers in view of the strict monitoring by government agencies.

He said every dealer should display the stock available and the prices notified. Any dealer found collecting more than the MRP would be penalised severely.

The Collector said officials should ensure that the stocks earmarked for a particular area should be distributed in the designated places without allowing them to be taken to other places.

Also, the fertilizers allotted for the district should not be smuggled into other districts. Like wise, dealers should not attempt to get chemicals from other districts.

He suggested that farmers should be asked to collect chemicals in a staggered way village-wise so that there was no rush on a single day.

Rythu Sadassu

The Collector also reviewed the arrangements for conducting divisional level Rythu Sadassu between June 7 and 11.

The first meeting on June 7 would be held at Gadwal, June 8 at Palem, June 9 at Narayanpet, June 10 Wanaparthy and June 11 Mahabubnagar. Agriculture Joint Director Vinay Chand and others were present.
