They also want measures to check mismanagement, corruption at these centres
With the commencement of paddy harvest in a few pockets of the double-crop region in the district, farmers have urged the district administration to open Direct Purchase Centres (DPCs) in these areas. Steps have to be taken to avoid any mismanagement or corruption at these centres, they say.
Joint Director of Agriculture T. Vivekanandan said paddy crop on around 5,000 hectares would be harvested within the next 15 days in Vadipatti, Madurai East and Madurai North blocks. Water was released in the last week of August to irrigate the first crop of the double-crop area in the district.
