Farmers demand withdrawal of move to shift organic certification department
- Country:
- India
The Tamil Nadu Farmers Association has said it was against the proposal of the State government to shift the Tamil Nadu Organic Certification Department from here to Chennai.
In a memorandum submitted to Coimbatore District Collector on Monday, president of the association S Palanisamy said the organic farmers of the Kongu region, comprising eight western districts of the State, would face problems, including transportation if the department was shifted to the capital city. A couple of days ago, president of the BJP agricultural wing G K Nagaraj met the Collector demanding withdrawal of the proposal failing which, the former said, the ryots would stage a demonstration on September 21 across the region.
