The government Thursday asked the Department of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs (FCS&CA) to register a case against three erring LPG agencies for diversion of subsidy.
The development comes after the District Magistrate Pulwama found huge discrepancies in the implementation of PradhanMantriUjjalaYojana in the district.
“The preliminary scrutiny and verification into the alleged divergence was taken up early last year,” an official said.
He said the final investigation report submitted by Assistant Director FCS&CA, Pulwama, Sheikh Inayatullah to the district magistrate confirmed the fraud.
“Accordingly, Deputy Commissioner RaghawLankar on Thursday directed the AD to lodge an FIR against three erring LPG agencies,” an official said.
