Exempt agri officers from NRC

Agriculture minister Atul Bora said his department had launched initiatives to control the pest attack on a "war footing" He said personnel from the agricultural department had been helping in the NRC update work but now they need their full force for the drive.
"We have written to the NRC directorate to release our personnel.," Bora said.
