PARLAKHEMUNDI: Members of the Gajapati District Congress Committee (GDCC) on
Saturday demanded action against the persons who are involved in the
misappropriation of PDS rice in the district. They also demanded immediate
arrest of the culprits in connection with the case.
At a Press meet here, GDCC
general secretary K Suriya Rao expressed concern over the delay in taking
appropriate action against the culprits who misappropriated PDS rice. The rice
loaded truck was seized by the additional Supply Officer with the help of
locals and most of the people along with the Government officials know about
the illegal work done by some lower level-officers, but why the Supply
Department is silent over the matter, questioned the party members in the Press
meet.
It may be noted that the
Additional Supply Officer on Friday seized 67 quintals of PDS rice from
Hadubhangi village under Kasinagar block in the district on Friday. With the
help of Ranipentha villagers led by local Panchayat Samiti member K Suriya Rao,
ASO Jhasketan Pradhan had conducted a raid and seized the rice-laden vehicle of
the Civil Supplies Department that had already unloaded 40 packets of rice in
front of Dhananjay Rao’s godown at Ranipentha on Thursday morning.
