Acting on a tip-off under the direction of SP Awinash Kumar, a special squad-led by Inspector Ranjan Patnaik on Thursday raided the godown and residential premise of a storage agent, Gopal Agrawal in Loisingha and seized 50,000 quintals of BPL rice and 2,000 quintals of wheat stored illegally.

Agrawal is the storage agent for 12 gram panchayats of Loisingha block.

During verification, Agrawal could not show valid documents in support of the stored items. He was immediately taken into custody, said Inspector Pattnaik.

Prior to this, there was widespread allegation in the concerned panchayat areas about regular irregularity in delivery of PDS rice and wheat to the BPL consumers and the tribal people were the worst victims of such bungling as nobody heard their grievance.
