Patronage of the new e-DPC system of paddy procurementappears to be slowly picking up with a few hundred farmers in Thanjavur and Tiruvarur districts registering their names online for measurement of their produce at the designated direct purchase centres (DPCs).
Though the new method of procurement evoked a strong negative reaction from a majority of farmers’ associations in the delta, 350 farmers in Thanjavur and 256 in Tiruvarur have opted for the e-DPC method so far.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
