Locals question paddy allotment to defaulting rice mills in district
Wanaparthy: Questions are being raised over the allotment of paddy under the Custom Milled Rice (CMR) scheme to rice mills allegedly operating without mandatory permissions in the district. Civil Supplies officials, during recent inspections of rice mills in the district, detected CMR defaults running into crores of rupees. One such mill, Chamundi Industries at Mojerla on the outskirts of Peddamandadi mandal, was found to have defaulted on CMR obligations worth Rs 13.33 crores, while another Sambasiva Rice Mill on the outskirts of Velliyamkonda in Kothakota mandal was found to have defaulted Rs 3.92 crore, officials said. The total default detected at the two mills stands at around Rs 17.25 crore. According to records, Chamundi Industries had been allotted 2,434.600 metric tonnes of paddy under the 2024-25 Kharif CMR quota. The mill had milled and supplied only 319 MT to the government, while 1,312.182 MT remained as balance as of February 2025. The allotment of CMR paddy to the mill had reportedly come under scrutiny earlier, with questions being raised over how paddy was allotted despite the alleged absence of mandatory clearances. The issue had also been reported in February 2025. The latest inspections have brought the matter back into focus, with rice millers and others questioning whether the required documents and permissions were properly verified before the CMR paddy was allotted. Officials from the Revenue and Panchayat Raj departments inspected the Chamundi Rice Mill. The inspection reportedly found that the mill did not have the required building permission and had also violated regulations relating to borewell permissions. Though notices were issued to the management seeking necessary documents, the mill allegedly failed to produce the required approvals, following which authorities initiated legal action. When asked, Additional Collector Vinod Kumar said the Gram Panchayat authorities had sealed the Chamundi Rice Mill for operating without the required building permission. Rice millers and members of the public have demanded that the authorities conduct a comprehensive review of CMR paddy allotments and take action wherever rules were violated. They also urged the department to ensure strict adherence to norms to protect government stocks and maintain public confidence.
