Kolabira, 21.1 (Fast News Odisha): During a surprise raid by the Supply Department, the illegally stored paddy and the paddy loaded in the vehicle are being seized from Tokaram Sahu and Rajesh Pujhari in Malidihi village under Kolabira block and are being investigated. Under the leadership of District Supply Officer Durgevar Beshra, the supply department officials were involved in this event. Kolabira Additional Tahsildar Kaisik Meher was present as Magistrate. Colabira police assisted in this operation. Some farmers’ paddy was loaded in two trucks, which were taken to the mandi on the next day, and when the relevant papers were prepared there, Bepari Rajesh Pujari stood by his side, while thousands of sacks of paddy stored in Bepari Tokaram Sahu’s godown were seized and investigated. It appears. Smuggling of grain, the government is failing to curb the smuggling of grain by farmers who sell the surplus grain to their friends to make up for the lack of grain. In such a place, there has been anxiety about what will be the attitude of the department after the truth is proved during the raid of the departmental officials directly on illegal logging and poaching. However, today it seems that the 10 farmers who needed to take the grain to the market took all the farmers and went to the Rajesh district supply officer and informed about the availability of their grain.
