Media concern over the natural damage to the KL crop<br />
(as reported <strong>in</strong> <strong>The</strong> Pragatibadi,20-5-04)<br />
(Note: This report speaks about the damage to the KL crop <strong>in</strong> the Malkangiri region <strong>in</strong> 2004 by<br />
unseasonal ra<strong>in</strong>s. It also po<strong>in</strong>ts out the lacuna at various levels of the KL operations, and<br />
describes how the mafias take the advantage of the same, with an example that whereas the<br />
potential of the district is worth about Rs.100 crores, the govt procured KL worth about Rs.20<br />
crore only. However, the assessed potential may be exaggerated or superficial to some extent, as<br />
the KL w<strong>in</strong>g would like to say.)<br />
