Peddapalli: The food grains procured by various procuring centres in the district and that were stored in rice mills must be handed over to Food Corporation of India (FCI) in time, District in-charge Collector S Prabhakar Reddy directed the officials. He chaired a meeting with the district officials along with rice millers at the Collectorate conference hall here on Tuesday.

Speaking on the occasion, the in-charge Collector, S Prabhakar Reddy, said that the procuring centres in the district have procured about 65,36,826 quintals of different food grains and these will be handed over to the FCI by August 31 in the ratio of 68 kg for one quintal.

He ordered the officials concerned to make arrangements for four additional godowns in the district to store food grains, as the existing two godowns were not sufficient for storing huge quantities of food grains that have been procured.

The rice millers must follow the guidelines and instructions issued by the government strictly without giving any scope for irregularities. Otherwise stringent actions would be taken on them, warned the in-charge Collector. District Civil Supply Officer Rehaman and Manger of Civil Supply department Lakshmi Narayana were present along with rice millers.
