On a surprise inspection Saturday, Haryana Food and Civil Supplies Minister Rajesh Nagar exposed serious irregularities at a ration depot in Kushak Badoli village, Palwal uncovering sand deliberately mixed into grain sacks intended for public distribution.

Shocking Discovery of Systematic Fraud

During the unannounced raid, Minister Nagar discovered multiple violations at the depot. The most alarming finding was grain sacks deliberately contaminated with sand, a clear indication of potential large-scale fraud in the public distribution system. This discovery prompted immediate action from the minister. 

Strict Departmental Action Initiated

Following the raid, Nagar ordered a comprehensive departmental investigation. A show-cause notice was issued to the Food Supply Inspector, and instructions were given to register a First Information Report (FIR) against the depot holder. The minister emphasized that anyone found guilty would face the strictest possible action. 

Commitment to Public Welfare 

Nagar strongly stated that the government is committed to serving the poor and will not tolerate any attempts to compromise their rights. He directed department officials to remain vigilant and encouraged citizens to report any irregularities they encounter in the public distribution system. 

Ongoing Vigilance and Transparency

The Vigilance Bureau and Food and Civil Supplies department have been instructed to closely monitor such depots. The minister assured the public that comprehensive steps would be taken to prevent future malpractices and protect the interests of vulnerable populations. 

This proactive approach demonstrates the Haryana government's commitment to transparency and accountability in public service delivery.
