SHRI MOINUL HASSAN (MURSHIDABAD): Mr. Chairman, Sir, I would like to mention that the Food Corporation of India which is a Government of India undertaking have reduced their activity in the Eastern Region. Very recently, they have diverted fund under the head of godown construction from Eastern Region to Southern Region. This is my first point.

Secondly, very recently, the Food Corporation of India got a lump sum amount from the World Bank but they are not considering the appeal of Eastern Region.

Thirdly, very recently, they have terminated 19 persons belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes from the service. They were the employees of the Food Corporation of India. So, I would like to raise this matter of public importance before this august House and I urge upon the Government to look into the matter. Thank you.
