Food Commissioner Mohanjeet Singh

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday ordered the suspension of Delhi's Food and Supplies Commissioner over alleged irregularities in the ration system detected during an inspection by Food Minister Imran Hussain, while the opposition called it a "stunt" to cover up failures.

The Delhi government on Monday alleged that Food Commissioner Mohanjeet Singh has decided to cancel more than 2.9 lakh ration cards without proper inspection, setting the stage for another round of tussle between the AAP dispensation and the bureaucracy.
