Inspections Conducted at Haryana Wheat Godowns Following Quality Complaints
Following complaints about poor-quality wheat, authorities conducted inspections at Kunjpura and Sirsa ration depots in Haryana. At Kunjpura, officials collected samples to test alleged wheat deterioration and investigate missing stock totaling around 14,200 bags, with an FIR filed against a former inspector. In Sirsa, surprise checks found wheat contaminated with sand, mud, and fungus, leading to sealing of one depot and plans to replace substandard stock to ensure quality distribution to beneficiaries. Laboratory results are awaited to determine further action.
