Belagavi: The state govt will shut down private APMC named Jai Kisan Wholesale Vegetable Market in Belagavi and farmers need not harbour any doubts, said agriculture marketing minister Shivanand Patil.

The minister said they need documentary evidence to support the closure. "Submit any documents you have. We are also collecting reports from officials.
The govt will act without allowing any legal loopholes," he said.
The minister also said action will be taken against those who illegally collected commissions and exploited farmers.
Patil said the govt plans to form a committee, including farmer representatives, to compile a report. Besides, a meeting with district minister Satish Jarkiholi and urban development minister Byrathi Suresh will be held.
He said the state stands firmly with the farmers.
