CFJ alleges sub standard mid-day meal distribution 5/24/2015 12:40:08 AM Early Times Report Jammu, May 23: Alleging that sub-standard eatables were being provided by the previous government to the poor kids in schools under mid-day meal scheme, the Citizens' Forum Jammu, in a request to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, complained that the previous regimes did not spare even poor children of this state and they snatched even a mouthful of nutritious food bites from them and instead supplied unhygienic, bad rotten foods in the shape Mid Day Meals. The forum added that 'this has lead to a situation where a respectable citizen's head hang in a shame'. The forum has lamented, "No action has yet been taken against them. We do not call it a mismanagement or irresponsible attitude of the previous government but connivance or liberal free hand given to the officers and their contractors of the Social Welfare department, to supply in short quantity and that too expired nutrition items through Anganwari Centres in schools and then sell it in the market to make profits out of it, the Social Welfare department is really created for their own welfare only." It added; "It is under stood that previous Government failed to submit utilisation certificate and make its contribution of ten percent to the scheme, there fore the Union government stopped release of the current installment of funds and the scheme is starved and whatever funds are available are being diverted to Hench men and middlemen."   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
