The FCI, Delhi Region, organised the programme at its office situated at food storage depot (FSD), Ghevra under the aegis of Shraddha Sharma, General Manager (R) and Sanjay Sharma, Deputy General Manager (R).
The gang used to issue fake appointment letters, conduct bogus training programs and provide fabricated government department identity cards to job seekers.
Amid the ongoing row over sale of rice to Karnataka by Food Corporation of India (FCI), the Congress has opened a new front against the Centre saying that the BJP has avenged its election loss in Himachal Pradesh by slashing import duties on Washington apple.
The Centre has decided to discontinue the sale of rice and wheat from the central pool under the Open Market Sale Scheme (OMSS) to state governments.
The official informed that the FCI has bought paddy of farmers through Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee at nine procurement centers in the state.
Our self-sufficiency in food grain production has been achieved through the pursuit of exploitative agricultural practices in the name of the Green Revolution, which laid emphasis on the production of two water-intensive crops rice and wheat. It has wrested areas from coarse cereals, pulses and oilseeds and left a trail of ecological hazards depletion of soil nutrients, biodiversity, resurgence of pests and plant diseases, creation of salinity and water logging.
The move of the BJP comes a day after a delegation of BJD MPs had met Goyal to point out that non-release of subsidy by the centre and failure of the FCI in evacuating rice has created a huge problem for the state.
As per the requirement of the farmers, the continuous supply of seeds was being made available through the Agriculture Department, so that no inconvenience is caused to the farmers.
Under Atma Nirbhar Bharat package, Government of India has decided that food grains will be provided free of cost at the rate of 5 Kg per month for two months
