1,250 bags of urea seized from dal mill in Kalaburagi
The urea bags were stored and repackaged without licence at the dal mill located in the Kapnoor Industrial Area
Agriculture authorities have confiscated 1,250 bags of urea, found at a dal mill in Kapnoor Industrial Area near Kalaburagi on Sunday. The seizure comes after a tip-off led officials to the site, where they discovered urea stored in bags lacking the necessary license. The fertilizer, valued at approximately ₹3.72 lakh based on estimates, was removed from its original packaging and repackaged into plain white bags before being transported illegally.
The operation was carried out by a team led by Deputy Director of Agriculture Balraj Rangarao, Assistant Director of Agriculture (Vigilance) Kavita, and Agriculture Officer Jahangir. The dal mill is now under investigation for using its facilities to store and handle urea without the required authorization. The raid's participants have left the scene, and a thorough investigation is underway.
Those responsible for this breach of regulations are expected to face legal consequences. The incident took place within the jurisdiction of the Sub-Urban Police Station, and collaboration between the Agriculture Department and law enforcement agencies is ongoing to resolve the matter.
