Sumir KarmakarAtul BoraGuwahati: Dispur on Wednesday said tractor distribution under the Chief Minister Samagra Gramya Unnayan Yojana was temporarily suspended following detection of some "discrepancies". So the entire process of distribution of tractors is under consideration in the interest of the farmers. Some guidelines of the scheme are being amended based on recommendations of a high-powered committee set up by the government and with discussion in the Cabinet. The BJP-led government decided to distribute the tractors under the scheme in order to achieve its target to double farm income in the state in the next five years. On when the scheme will resume, Bora later told The Telegraph on Wednesday evening, "The discrepancies were detected by us and we have plugged the loopholes.
