He noted that any lapse in duty could significantly impact the quality and yield of silk produced, highlighting the need for all officers and field functionaries to perform their roles with utmost diligence and precision.
“We cannot afford any negligence in our operations, especially during the silkworm rearing season. Every step of the process, from technical operations to fieldwork, must be executed meticulously. Our farmers and silkworm rearers depend on our support and guidance to achieve successful rearing outcomes,” Bhat stated.
He called for enhanced coordination and communication between the department’s officers, field functionaries, and silkworm rearers, stressing that close collaboration and proactive assistance are essential for addressing issues promptly and ensuring smooth operations throughout the rearing period.
The suspension of these employees underscores the department’s commitment to accountability and excellence.
