THANJAVUR
The Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam, affiliated to the Communist Party of India (Marxists), has opposed the extension of online registration for selling paddy at the direct purchase centres during the ‘samba’ season also.
A petition signed by the district secretary, TVS, N.V.Kannan, opposing the new procedure was submitted to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Thanjavur, Ranjith at the divisional-level agriculture grievance meeting held here on Friday. He said the new procedure would benefit traders and not farmers. Alleging that the Central government had introduced the new procedure keeping in mind the interests of paddy traders, he urged the State government to oppose the move at the very beginning itself and pressurise the Centre to withdraw the new procedure. If not, they would organise demonstrations from January 5, 2022 onwards. He said that it would be practically impossible for the farmers particularly small and marginal farmers to get the ‘chitta’ and other documents required to register names through the portal for selling the paddy.
