Supreme Court: Hey Centre! Distribute food grains for free to the poorest instead of allowing it to rot due to lack of storage facility.
Agriculture minister Sharad Pawar: Oops! We cannot distribute them freely.
That was the response!!! What about the rot? What about the storage facility? What about issues in managing it? Oh! let's watch cricket, Pawar.

Sorry for responding to you very late... You had left a comment saying the subscribe link in my blog wasn't working...
Actually I have been quite irregular with this blog. Plan to reactivate it... I shall see why it's not working...
Thanks for dropping by...
Wrt to this blog post... You make a very good point... Sad there's so much food rotting, and sadder still that the govt is so indifferent to this...
Today apparently, the govt is planning to the tell the Supereme Court that it can't distribute the piled up grains to the poor. I didn't expect that from the government.
