MORIGAON, June 24: The Morigaon district commissioner has suspended the M/S Nagabandha GPSS’s PDS sub-wholesale license no (sub-wholesale) 10/96 following an enquiry report submitted by the assistant director of FPD & CA, Morigaon. The report reveals that the president and the secretary of Nagabandha GPSS were allegedly found with an excess and illegal stock of 41.32 quintals of PMGKAY rice in the GPSS godown on March 31, 2024. This rice was illegally accumulated for diversion into the black market for monetary gain, depriving poor beneficiaries of receiving their rice in the correct weight. The enquiry report also states that the stock register of PMGKAY rice was not correctly maintained on March 31, 2024. Consequently, the district commissioner found that the GPSS contravened terms and conditions no 3(a)(i), (ii), (iii) of the PDS sub-wholesale license issued to them.
The FP shop dealers of M/S Nagabandha GPSS were suspended following a complaint petition on March 21, 2024, alleging that the GPSS authority had been curtailing the quantity of PMGKAY rice issued to FP shop dealers every month. In the interest of the beneficiaries, the district commissioner has tagged the FP Shops of M/S Nagabandha GPSS with M/S Bhurabandha GPSS, which will lift and distribute PMGKAY, MDM, and SNP rice allotted to M/S Nagabandha GPSS until further notice.
