The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Telangana Civil Supplies department has decided to deploy automated stackers and integrated cleaner-cum-bagging machinery at high-volume Paddy Procurement Centres.
- The move aims to reduce dependence on manual labour, especially hamalis whose shortage delayed paddy procurement in the previous cycle, and to speed up transport turnaround.
- The decision was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by Civil Supplies Commissioner M. Stephen Raveendra in Hyderabad.
- Authorities also said price monitoring across 11 centres shows no alarming signs, and godown space has been earmarked for Custom Milled Rice logistics.
What to watch next
- How quickly the automated machinery is actually installed at procurement centres ahead of the next procurement cycle
- Whether mechanisation resolves the hamali shortage and reduces procurement delays
- Clearance of dedicated godown space by Agricultural Market Committees for Custom Milled Rice
