Chg directs FIR against 10 rice millers for non-compliance

Chhattisgarh government would recover about Rs 70 crore from a total of 27 rice millers in Raipur district and lodge FIR against ten of them for failing to deliver custom-milled rice within stipulated time.
"Revenue Recovery Certificate (RRC) has been issued for recovery of about Rs 70 crore from 27 rice millers who have failed to return rice in lieu of paddy provided to them for custom milling in given timeframe in the kharif marketing year 2013-14," Raipur Collector Ram Singh Thakur told PTI today.
Besides, orders have also been issued to lodge FIR against ten of them, he said.

The rice millers were earlier issued notices for not depositing rice and an investigation was also done in this regard, but even after that they failed to comply, the collector said.
The government has directed tehsildars to immediately recover the dues from the rice millers, he added.
