Corruption slur on FCI official

NORTH LAKIMPUR, Nov 30: The employees of Food Corporation of India in Banderdew district office, Arunacal Pradesh, levelled an allegation against area manager in-charge Hanifur Rahman in charges of siphoning money from the Department. The employees alleged that Rahman was involved in mass corruption and withdrew huge amounts of money from the FCI.

It was reported that Rahman allegedly withdrew Rs 90,000 from the FCI as contingency advance for cleaning the office campus although he spent a little amount on it. Rahman also allegedly extracted Rs 1,500 and Rs 3,500 in the name of buying bamboo and showing tea costing during the FCI Union election though official sources indicate that the works shown were fake. Charges of taking another Rs 40,000 for giving water supply connection in the Banderdew office has also been levelled on Rahman.

The FCI staff have, therefore, demanded to the Food and Civil Supply Minister, Government of India, for a quick enquiry in the matter. THE SENTINEL
