CM orders probe into missing wheat stock


Ludhiana, September 18
A week after the Mullanpur police booked a former Area Inspector of the Punjab Agro Food Grain Corporation, Mela Singh, for misappropriation, the Chief Minister today ordered a Vigilance probe into the alleged embezzlement of 2,538 tonnes of wheat worth Rs 4.5 crore at Mullanpur.
This has been done on the recommendation of the Financial Commissioner, Development. Mela Singh was booked on the complaint of NK Sharma, Senior Divisional Manager, Punjab Agro Food Grain Corporation. Sharma said that Mela Singh, who was in charge of Dakha area from 2006 till March this year, “ took pre-mature retirement in March. However, he did not hand over the charge of the wheat stock at the time of relinquishing duty.”
