Karnal Authorities Register FIR Over Illegal Fertiliser Storage and SalesPreviousNext

In Karnal district, authorities registered an FIR against firms, including M/s IFFCO-e-Bazar Limited and M/s Mohan Enterprises, for illegally storing and selling fertilisers without valid licenses. Inspections by the Agriculture Department and the Chief Minister's Flying Squad uncovered unlicensed storage, missing documentation, and forced tagging of non-subsidised products. So far, 55 fertiliser shops have been inspected, resulting in the cancellation of three licenses and suspension of ten others to curb black marketing and hoarding ahead of the kharif season.
