Colour sorter machines to be installed in all rice mills before month end

“Based on the instructions of Chief Minister MK Stalin we have directed all the rice mills, including private rice mills, to install colour sorter machines. Though the mill owners requested time till the end of September, the state did not accept and fixed August 31 as the deadline for installing the machines. The colour sorter machines will also be installed in the modern rice mills run by Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation,” said the Minister, in the Assembly. 

Sakkarapani replied to the issue of poor quality of rice being supplied and buying of boiled rice from AP and Telangana raised by Sirkazhi MLA M Panneerselvam and Kuzhithalai MLA R Manickam respectively.
