Balance cheques sent by air cargo

Distribution of cheques to farmers in some mandals of Rangareddy and Medchal-Malkajgiri districts will go on as scheduled.

Printing of cheques pertaining to more than a dozen mandals in the two districts was delayed due to technical reasons.

With the government resolving these issues late on Tuesday evening, the State Bank of India printing press in Mumbai completed printing of 1.92 lakh cheques by Wednesday evening.

The printed cheques had been sent through air cargo late on Wednesday evening and Agriculture Department Principal Secretary C. Parthasarathi received them. These high-security cheques were transported from Shamshabad International Airport here in Hyderabad to State Bank of India, Koti Branch under special force surveillance.
