Mysuru: Owing to the neglect by the Food and Civil Supplies (FCS) department officials, worms were found in the stocked rice inside the Karnataka Food and Civil Supplies Corporation (KFCSC) Ltd depot.
The depot has over 329 quintals of wheat and 200 quintals of rice in two separate storehouses. In the stocked rice, worms were found as the dates for distribution have expired.
When government spends crores to ensure the needy get ration at subsidised rates, the sheer apathy by FCS departmental officials who have allowed the rice to rot instead of distributing it among the beneficiaries is a matter of grave concern, alleged BJP demanding action against errant officials.
