On January 9, the SC had said there was something "seriously wrong" with the FCI where 370 departmental labourers were paid Rs 4.5 lakh a month, a salary that was much more than the President of India.

On Friday, solicitor general Ranjit Kumar informed a bench of Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justices A M Khanwilkar and Dhananjaya Chandrachud that the Centre has issued a notification on July 6 to revert to contractual labourers for loading and unloading of foodgrain sacks at FCI depots.

Is there any integrity in audits of government companies and setups? Oh, what a shame !

But it only reflects on our value system as citizens. As human beings.
 
FCI has been in news many a times for wrong reasons. This one is the latest. Their go downs in many parts of India lacks proper storage facilities thus resulting into wastage of valuable food grains.
