Absence of a scientific weighing mechanism at TNCSC godowns, from where rice and other essential commodities are dispatched to fair price shops, has resulted in significant leakage of Public Distribution System goods, including several lakh tonnes of rice and other items.
Weight of gunny bags loaded at TNCSC godowns is not recorded through an electronic system, but is manually entered by the staff, say sources.
According to sources, the weight of gunny bags loaded at TNCSC godowns is not recorded through an electronic system, but is manually entered by the staff, which is the root cause of the problem.
As a result, a rice bag recorded as weighing 50.65 kg often weighs only 47 kg to 48 kg when it reaches ration shops. Since the bags received at ration shops are not weighed before being stocked, the shortage comes to light only when the bags are opened, and rice is distributed to consumers.
