AP minister urges rice millers to supply 10% broken rice under Centre's new procurement drive
VIJAYAWADA: Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar has called upon rice millers in the State to be prepared to supply custom milled rice (CMR) with 10% broken rice to the Centre as part of the Centre's new procurement initiative. At a meeting held at the Civil Supplies Bhavan in Kanuru, Vijayawada, he said the pilot project undertaken in East Godavari, West Godavari, Konaseema and Eluru districts was successful, with 10,000 metric tonnes of paddy procured in compliance with Central norms. The Centre plans to procure 50 lakh metric tonnes of paddy from five States, including Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha. Manohar said AP has been given a clear target, and urged rice millers to submit proposals confirming their willingness to supply rice with exactly 10% broken content as per FCI specifications. Manohar advised millers to complete testing, packing, and transport arrangements in line with Central guidelines and meet the supply deadlines. Explaining the importance of adherence to norms, the Civil Supplies Minister said providing quality rice on time would enhance the image of 'Brand Andhra Pradesh' at the national level.

Transfer of civil supplies assets between TG and AP comes to the fore yet again
Transfer of assets of the Civil Supplies Corporation of the erstwhile united State has come to the fore yet again. A meeting between Minister for Civil Supplies N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and his Andhra Pradesh counterpart Nadendla Manohar on Friday focussed on the phased transfer of assets pertaining to the Civil Supplies departments of the two Telugu States. The meeting deliberated on whether to allow the Telangana Civil Supplies Corporation to use half of the Civil Supplies Bhavan currently allotted to the A.P. Civil Supplies Corporation. The building lies unused. 'The primary dispute between the two States is about the reimbursement of the subsidy amount pertaining to Telangana having been credited into the account of Andhra Pradesh by the Centre,' a senior officer dealing with the State Reorganisation Affairs told The Hindu on condition of anonymity. While the neighbouring State is harping on the recommendations of the Sheila Bhide Committee on apportionment of the assets between the two States, the Telangana government is firm that the cash credit due to it should be reimbursed. The issue assumes significance as the assets of the Civil Supplies Corporation, including the Civil Supplies Bhavan, would come under the control of the Telangana government in line with the provisions under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014. Mr. Uttam Kumar Reddy said the response from Andhra Pradesh on the transfer of assets located in Telangana to the State government was positive. The two sides discussed strengthening cooperation between the Telugu States on issues like rice exports. Telangana has officially begun exports to the Philippines through the Kakinada Port, with Andhra Pradesh extending critical support in port operations, storage and export procedures. Andhra Pradesh also offered its Visakhapatnam and Krishnapatnam ports for future consignments. 'This is not a matter of jurisdiction, but of mutual growth. Andhra Pradesh is happy to extend full support for Telangana's rice exports. Our ports are open to facilitate this shared economic activity,' said Mr. Nadendla Manohar.
