Imphal, November 06 2024:
Bishnupur deputy commissioner Lourembam Bikram has issued a directive that no farmer shall utilise any part of paved road for the purpose of threshing paddy and asked owners/drivers of farm vehicles to compulsorily remove mud from the tyre(s) of the farm vehicles before driving out to the main road.
In an order issued Wednesday, DC Bikram said the decision was taken based on reports that with the start of the harvesting season, some farmers/ individuals are resorting to threshing of paddy on paved public roads.
Further, large number of farm vehicles used in paddy fields drop mud on paved roads, thereby causing damage to public property and endangering public life, it added.
The order further warned that failing to comply with the directives will invite appropriate action as per the law.
