As the harvest season begins, the Nagapattinam administration has put in place measures to prevent middlemen from transporting paddy from neighbouring districts to the Direct Purchase Centres (DPCs).

The district administration has acted upon information that harvested paddy of samba/ thaladi had been surreptitiously stocked in Sikkal and Thirumarugal areas. Collector A. Arun Thamburaj has constituted teams consisting of officials of Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation, Village Administrative Officers and Assistant Agricultural Officers to carry out inspections and to make sure that paddy loads from outside Nagapattinam are not brought to the local DPCs with fake documentation.
