Chief Minister MK Stalin Inaugurates New Warehouses, Boosts Storage Capacity for Tamil Nadu Farmers

Chief Minister MK Stalin inaugurated three newly built warehouses and lay the foundation stones for two more through video conference at the secretariat in an effort to significantly increase storage capacity for farmers and traders in Tamil Nadu. Friday's event was planned to highlight the state's urgent need for improved storage facilities.

Three new warehouses were constructed in the districts of Pudukkottai, Ranipet, and Madurai with a total investment of Rs 7.20 crore, with the initiative's initial funding coming from the Tamil Nadu Warehousing Corporation (TNWC). These cutting-edge warehouses can store 3,400 tonnes each, which is quite a lot. This occurred when Food and Consumer Protection Minister R Sakkarapani pledged funding during the fiscal year 2021-22 budget request.

Additionally, Chief Minister MK Stalin lay the cornerstones for two additional warehouses in the districts of Tirupur and Tiruppathur at a total cost of Rs 6.4 crore.

To further demonstrate the government's dedication to both economic growth and social welfare, the Chief Minister issued job orders to 53 people who had been appointed by the corporation on compassionate grounds.

Key authorities, such as Minister for Food and Consumer Protection R Sakkarapani, TNWC chairman B Ranganathan, and other dignitaries, were present at the occasion, highlighting the importance of this project for the agricultural and economic prosperity of the state.

Tamil Nadu is committed to agricultural development and welfare, and with these new warehouses and ongoing work to expand storage capacity, the state is in a better position to offer greater support to its farming community and boost trade opportunities.
