to impose lockdown not bothering about the heavy revenue loss to the State. In
the present situation, it is the responsibility of the DGP and the Collectors
to implement the lockdown in true letter and spirit under the Disaster
Management Act guidelines. Except the four hours relaxation period, lock down
should be implemented for the rest 20 hours. Only people having the emergency
passes and essential services should be exempted. Don’t show any laxity or
lenience. But at the same time, the Paddy procurement should be done on a fast
track. While I was coming here by Helicopter I have seen Paddy stocks dried in

with the agricultural operations. Hence the Paddy procurement should be
completed quickly.”
