Officials of the civil supplies department discussing the enforcement protocols.
“The updated protocols target millers, who fail to deliver CMR or attempt to misappropriate government paddy purchased with public funds at minimum support price. Upon detecting a shortfall during joint physical verifications, the department now immediately issues a show cause notice, granting a strict seven-day window for the miller to respond before recovery actions escalate.”
