Allahabad, June 7 (ANI): A whopping 50,000 metric tonnes of foodgrain worth Rs. 3 crore, meant to be distributed among the poor, has gone missing from a Food Corporation of India (FCI) godown here.
The scam was unearthed during an inspection by a regional manager of the FCI.
The depot manager has suggested that rodents ate 37,000 metric tonnes of wheat and 13,000 metric tonnes of rice stacked in the godown.
A police complaint has been filed against him and 10 workers at the godown.
FCI godowns store wheat and rice to be given out to families living below poverty line.
