While on his way to Nittur village in Siruguppa taluk on Monday, Ballari Additional Deputy Commissioner Mohammed Zubair made an unscheduled halt after spotting farmers engaged in paddy sowing and decided to join them.
On noticing the activity during his official journey, the ADC stepped out of his vehicle, rolled up his trousers, and entered the field to plant saplings alongside the farmers.
Accompanying officials, including the tahsildar and revenue inspector, also took part in the sowing. Later, the ADC interacted with the farmers and listened to their concerns. The farmers expressed delight at the officer’s gesture, appreciating his connection to farming traditions and his attentive response to their issues.
