Centre Wants CAG To Delete Paras Regarding Losses Due To Improper Utilisation of Adani Silo -Dheeraj Mishra

-TheWire.in

In 2018, the CAG reported that between 2013-14 and 2015-16, the Food Corporation of India did not store enough wheat in the Adani Group's silo in Kaithal, Haryana but kept paying rent.

New Delhi: The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India in April 2018 reprimanded the Food Corporation of India (FCI) for causing a loss of Rs 6.49 crore to the taxpayers due to the failure to utilise available storage capacity at Adani silos located in Kaithal, Haryana. The Narendra Modi government, however, is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that these paragraphs are dropped from the CAG’s audit report, documents accessed by The Wire under the Right to Information (RTI) Act show.

The FCI falls under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution. The ministry has written a letter to the CAG demanding the paragraph be stricken off the report.

The ministry has claimed that the additional expenditure has not been assessed correctly. However, the CAG has rejected the demand and has refused to delete the paragraph.

The files obtained by The Wire include the CAG’s draft report, which also reveals that between 2013-14 and 2015-16, Rs 24.28 crore was paid to Adani Agri Logistics Ltd (AALL) for storage capacity, which the FCI never utilised.

During this period, storage space with a total capacity of 5.18 lakh metric tonnes (LMTs) remained vacant in the Adani silos for 11 months. The FCI did not use it to store wheat but kept paying the rent.
