New Delhi: CBI has filed an FIR against certain former officials of the Food Corporation of India (FCI), North Eastern Regional Agricultural Marketing Corporation (NERAMAC), and some private entities in connection with allegations of irregularities in the allotment of rice.
FCI, Delhi Region, officials are accused of bypassing rules to allocate 62,000 MT of rice to NERAMAC at a concessional rate of Rs 23,200 per MT under the Open Market Sale Scheme (Domestic). The prevailing reserve price is Rs 28,900 per MT. This, the FIR claims, violated the policy, as non-auction allocations are restricted exclusively to state govts or state corporations.
