Can't allow supply of rotten chickpea to kids under PM scheme: HC
The Morning Standard
|July 28, 2023
THE Delhi High Court has said that suppliers of rotten chana (chickpeas) and other food items to school children as part of their mid-day meal kits under the Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM-POSHAN) scheme during the COVID pandemic cannot be permitted.
Justice Subramonium Prasad noted that “the supply of rotten chana or vanaspati and dalda cannot be condoned and persons who indulged in such activities cannot be permitted to continue to supply” as it brings a bad name to a noble cause initiated by the government.
