A mobile court seized about 52,000kg of substandard seeds of paddy, jute, and mustard from a store of an agriculture seed agency in the district town of Bogra yesterday. It also sentenced Hafizur Rahman, proprietor of the agency Master Beez Vandar at Chandibazar, to one month in jail for producing and storing the seeds for marketing. Bogra Sadar Upazila Nirbahi Officer Mohammad Anwar Hossain led the mobile court and seized more than 600 sacks of seeds from the store. Habibul Haque, the upazila's agricultural extension officer, said the agency owner alone processed the seeds and sealed the sacks with name tags of different foreign companies.
