Tirupur : Farmers laid siege to the Madathukalam taluk office demanding that they should be allowed to procure paddy without being deterred at the paddy procurement centre.
The paddy procurement centre was opened at Madathukulam for the benefit of the farmers since paddy is cultivated in the spread area of 7500 Acres here. But, farmers alleged that citing various reasons, officials are not allowing them to procure paddy at the procurement centre. "As revenue officials are also involved in this, we are unable to gain the documents which are demanded to procure Paddy," they lamented.
Following this, members of the Tamil Nadu Farmers Association laid siege to the Madathukulam taluk office urging that they should be allowed to procure paddy at the centre without officials demanding any documents.
