Harsh for special task force to probe malpractices, frauds in CAPD 7/6/2015 11:14:46 PM Early Times Report Jammu, July 6: Alleging large scale irregularities and malpractices in the functioning of CAPD Department, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP urged upon the Food and Supplies Minister to constitute a special task Force to probe the multi crore scams and frauds being committed in the said deptt. with impunity and without any check whatsoever. In a statement issued here, Harsh Dev Singh said that the expose of Rs 30 crores ration trans-shipment scam in Udhampur that was detected by the Deputy Commissioner Udhampur last week is only a tip of the ice berg with similar situation prevailing in all other districts and tehsils all over the state. A deep rooted nexus existed in the CAPD deptt. with govt. functionaries, millars and ration dealers looting not less than 80% of the funds and ration meant for BPL/APL families with helmsmen turning a blind eye to the open frauds for vested interests. "The GOI had also advanced Rs. 6.11 crore to the state govt. during the last year for digitization of records which if materialized could have detected the fraudulent ration cards, black marketing and other malpractices which regretfully had not even been initiated, "he lamented. He said that ration was never being given as per prescribed scale in majority of tehsils of Jammu Division in particular and there was large scale mis-appropriation as was repeatedly agitated in the erstwhile Assembly also. He accused the dealers of adulteration and other mal practices thus providing poor quality ration to the bonafide consumers. Urging upon the strict implementation of the Food Safety and Standards Act, he called for constitution of a Food Safety Standards Authority on the central pattern to be headed by a senior officer from civil services as envisaged under the J&K Act also which however has not been done since 2006.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
