He said that the government was using technology to check irregularities in distribution of essential commodities and added that every month on 16, 17 and 18 fair price dealers will give door delivery to those who are not able to come to the fair price shops to take essential commodities.
He said the government estimated 47-lakh paddy yield during the kharif season and so far 5.5 lakh metric tonnes of paddy was purchased from farmers. He felt that Cotton Corporation of India was implementing the tough norms for purchasing cotton from farmers as a result the farmers are facing a lot of problems.
