West Bengal: Ration scam should be probed by central agencies like CBI, says Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury
Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury alleges "fake" ration shops and mid-day-meal scams in West Bengal, calling for a CBI probe. He highlights the plight of tea garden workers who lack basic government welfare facilities such as food, housing, and medicines. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman discusses these issues with ministries and the Tea Board of India (TBI) in Siliguri. The workers earn a meager daily wage of Rs 250, while their counterparts in South India earn Rs 500-600.
