PMB says 80,000 metric tonnes of paddy purchased this season

The Paddy Marketing board says it has thus far purchased 80,000 metric tonnes of paddy during this harvesting season.
Chairman of the Paddy Marketing Board J.B.Jayasinghe said that a majority of the paddy was purchased from the Ampara District.

The Chairman of the Paddy Marketing Board pointed out that as the storage space in all stores in the Ampara District have already been filled with purchased paddy, the board finds it difficult to purchase more paddy from farmers.
He added that steps have been taken to transport the existing stocks of paddy to Anuradhapura.

What is Gossip?

Gossip is a broad term that is defined in several different ways. In general, gossip involves the creation and repetition of rumors regarding an individual who is not present to offer his or her perspective on the purported events under discussion. Generally, gossip has little or no basis in fact and is sometimes intended to convey a negative image of an individual. This process of spreading rumors is utilized in just about every setting from reporting on the movements of public figures to discussing situations involving family, friends, and acquaintances.

It is not unusual for people who engage in the spreading of gossip to not consider themselves to be gossips. The rationalization is that the individual is simply conveying information that was shared from another source and thus is not the author of the data. Thus, he or she is not responsible for the reliability of the information. Also, there may be no real malice behind the distribution of the rumor. This is often the case when repeating a rumor about friends who are presumed to be going through a rough period with a spouse, or there is speculation on why an acquaintance recently left a job.

However, gossip is not always negative in content. It is possible to create and spread rumors about rumored positive events or attributes of another person. For example, the word may begin to spread that an individual is thinking about marrying someone that he or she has dated for some time. While the rumor may in fact be considered good news to those that hear it, the information may not be factual and could lead to negative consequences for the subject of the gossip.
