Major Enforcement Action Against Fertilizer Black Marketing in Tonk
Acting on intelligence regarding illicit hoarding of critical agricultural supplies, the District Special Team (DST) carried out extensive raids in Niwai, located in Tonk district. Led by DST in-charge Omprakash Choudhary, a collaborative task force comprising police personnel and agriculture department inspectors searched multiple commercial storage facilities across the town.
The enforcement operation led to the sealing of 12 warehouses after officials discovered large stockpiles of urea and DAP stored without proper authorization. The agriculture department formally classified the entire volume as unauthorized storage. Approximately 7,000 bags of fertilizer were seized during the drive, which witnessed brief altercations between law enforcement officials and affected business operators. Authorities have confirmed that paperwork is currently underway to file formal First Information Reports (FIRs) against the offending traders.

Boundary and Title Demarcation Dispute Surfaces in Sirohi Village
In Sirohi district, residents of Madhopura village under the Barlut administrative zone have raised serious grievances over the demarcation of rural property leases.

Consequently, concerns have emerged that multiple overlapping deeds may have been sanctioned over identical plots of land, leaving hundreds of property owners without verifiable reference marks.
Local representatives have warned that failing to execute a comprehensive land survey and settlement promptly could allow minor boundary disagreements to escalate into broader community tensions. The villagers have petitioned the local revenue administration to dispatch survey teams immediately to establish unambiguous landmarks for each allocated holding.
