The DC also urged cultivators to grow more fruits and vegetables so that the district can provide fresh organic vegetables to security personnel and avoid market shortages.
Meanwhile, they were asked by the SBI field officer to submit the relevant paperwork to the bank in order to expedite the loan procedures.
The officials later handed-over farm machineries, including power tillers and grain mills to support them in completing tasks within significantly less time frame.
