Choppadandi MLA Medipally Sathyam intervenes to speed up paddy lifting process, mitigate woes of farmers

Choppadandi MLA Medipally Sathyam on Sunday personally monitored the paddy lifting process at various paddy procurement centres in Gangadhara mandal in Karimnagar district.

Responding to the procurement issues due to the reported shortage of vehicles at several paddy procurement centres, Mr. Sathyam rushed to Madhuranagar chowrasta on the Karimnagar-Jagtial main road on Sunday afternoon.

He held discussions with the owners of the lorries plying on the highway and persuaded them to deploy the vehicles to shift the paddy stocks from the procurement centres to the rice mills, sources said.

He boarded a lorry and reached a nearby paddy procurement centre, where he oversaw the paddy lifting process.

The local farmers hailed the MLA’s intervention for ensuring deployment of lorries to speed up the ‘tardy’ paddy lifting and mitigate their woes.
