Major Crackdown on Illegal Agricultural Stockpiling in Hisar District
In a decisive move against the unlawful hoarding of essential crops, the Chief Minister's flying squad conducted a sweeping operation in Adampur, Hisar district, on Wednesday. The squad uncovered significant quantities of mustard and guar being stored without proper documentation in multiple warehouses, leading to substantial financial penalties for the violators.
Operation Led by CM Flying Squad Officials
The enforcement action was spearheaded by Sunaina, the officer in charge of the CM flying squad for the Hisar range. She was supported by a team including sub-inspector Krishna Kumar, ASI Surendra, and mandi supervisors Sunil Kumar and Kuldeep from the Adampur Market Committee. Their coordinated efforts targeted warehouses suspected of flouting agricultural storage regulations.
Detailed Inspections and Violations Uncovered
Abhishek Agro Industries: During the inspection of this firm's warehouse, the team discovered a massive stockpile of 1,025 quintals of mustard. The owner failed to provide valid purchase documents or market fee receipts. Upon cross-referencing the stock with the official 'H' register and market committee records, the squad confirmed the illegal storage. Consequently, a market committee fee and fine totaling approximately Rs 78,798 were imposed for procedural violations.
Rajendra Kumar Shubham Kumar: At this location, the squad found 515 quintals of guar stored illegally. Similar to the first case, the firm could not produce necessary documentation or fee receipts. After verifying the discrepancy with stock registers, the team levied a fee and fine of around Rs 28,789. Additionally, the market committee issued a formal notice to the firm for its regulatory breaches.
Ghanshyam Das Dinesh Kumar: The third warehouse inspection revealed 318 quintals of guar being held without proper documentation. For this norm violation, the firm faced a market committee fee and fine of approximately Rs 21,465. In a further action, the market committee also served a notice regarding the illegal construction of the warehouse itself.
Total Seizures and Financial Penalties
The operation resulted in the seizure of 1,025 quintals of mustard and 833 quintals of guar across the three firms. In total, the violators were slapped with market fees and fines amounting to roughly Rs 1,29,000. This crackdown underscores the authorities' commitment to enforcing agricultural market regulations and preventing illegal stockpiling that could disrupt local supply chains.
Sunaina emphasized that such operations are crucial for maintaining transparency and fairness in the agricultural sector. The CM flying squad continues to monitor warehouses across the region to ensure compliance with all prescribed procedures and documentation requirements.
