Punjab: Two months back NDTV exposed how wheat grains worth hundreds of crores were rotting in the open. But even after the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh intervened, little has changed in Punjab.
What's worse, now, even fresh harvest is being stored in the open at some places, like Sirhind, where there are no covers to protect the wheat from rain.
The storage space is right on the edge of a railway track. Yet, the wheat stored here has not been sent to places where it is needed.
Every year, wheat worth hundreds of crores goes waste.
