Telangana Orders Audit of Paddy Procurement and Custom Milled Rice Operations Since 2014
Telangana's Civil Supplies Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy has ordered a comprehensive audit of paddy procurement and Custom Milled Rice (CMR) operations since the state's formation in 2014. The review covers procurement quantities, mill-wise defaults, pending recoveries, and legal actions against defaulting millers. The government aims to recover public funds and foodgrain rather than focus solely on punishment, pursuing multiple recovery methods and systemic reforms to protect public assets and support farmers under the Minimum Support Price program.
