The registration was completed in November 16.
More people were registered in Thrissur and less in Kottayam. The date of registration was extended many times.
Agriculture minister KP Mohanan said that no decisions have been taken whether to extend the date further. If there are complaints, more chances needed to be given. As part of registration, the government collected the details of bank accounts and asset details of farmers.
