FCI calls media reports of Rs 1,160 crore rice diversion 'factually incorrect'

The Food Corporation of India has denied reports of a large-scale rice diversion for ethanol. Investigations are focused on a small quantity of rice, not the entire supply. Government agencies detected irregularities and initiated action before media reports surfaced. An FIR was registered, and a joint inspection confirmed a prima facie link. Appropriate legal action will be taken against those found responsible.
