Captain Amarinder Singh
Chandigarh, June 18
Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s urgent intervention for permission to construct 20 LMT capacity covered godowns in the state for scientific storage of foodgrain to address the acute shortage of covered storage space.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Captain Amarinder has urged him to direct the Ministry of Food to allow construction of 20 LMT capacity covered godowns.
He pointed out that bumper crops during the last few seasons, coupled with slow pace of evacuation of foodgrain from the state, had resulted in acute shortage of covered storage space. — TNS
