Uttam Kumar Reddy warns defaulting rice millers

The Civil Supplies Minister, N Uttam Kumar Reddy, had a meeting to talk about rice buying for the next season.

He said that rice mills that don't follow the rules won't get any rice to process.

He also made a new rulebook to make sure everything is fair.

The government is going to help rice mills grow and sell more rice outside the country.

They are also going to add more things to the ration shops.

The minister said the government is helping farmers by putting machines to dry and clean rice so it doesn't get wet or damaged.

He promised that farmers will get a good price for their rice without any problems.
