    Nothing new and surprising....entire PDS system chain is corrupt and every one is fully aware what goes on where....!!!! ...including some of the ultimate beneficiaries who sell the free grains to the distributors for a pittance and encourage them to trade for a higher margin....!!! Free grains are to be meant only for old aged, sick and handicapped....disabled folks....rest all abled to be provided with jobs. Such is the situation because of this vote bank free bees can't get people to work on daily wage....!!!

    If the food grains were meant for poor,cooked food can be distributed through Indira canteen itself. Poor people need not cook it. No fuel, No gas , No pain. Just work outside.Go to nearest Indira canteen , order the menu and feed yourselves by showing your Ration card or any other ID.

    This types of large scale smuggling of food grains can be controlled.

    The quantity confiscated is 55 MT and the government designated officials were unaware of such large quantity being "stolen" from their custody! Dear law enforcement officials, whom are you trying to fool? This illegal activity must have been happening over a wrong period. It is indeed a most heinous kind of sin to deprive the poorest of their food. Thorough investigation should be carried out and all involved should be given toughest punishment.

    The article does give us any names of accused and the people involved in it. There might be some government employees involved in it. The government employees depriving the actual beneficiaries from getting the rice. The officials at the food and civil essential's dept. are corrupt and work with only some extra money.
