(i) Need to conduct a CBI inquiry into alleged disappearance of huge stock of rice from the Warehousing Corporation Store at Kunkuri, Chhattisgarh
MS. INGRID MCLEOD (NOMINATED): Sir, I want to draw the attention of the Government to the incident that has taken place in Kunkuri, Chhattisgarh where a huge stock of rice has disappeared from the Warehousing Corporation Store. The rice was sent from the Civil Supplies Corporation as part of the Food for Work Programme under various schemes which are in operation for the poor and targeted population. This incident has created a great furore among the local population and raised a big question mark about the efficacy of the public distribution system. The disappearance of cereals stored in government godowns meant for distribution among the poor people is a serious matter. Although more than two months have elapsed, the matter is still hanging fire. An inquiry by the CBI has become essential.
I request the Central Government to conduct a CBI inquiry into the matter.
