Authorities in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, intercepted a truck carrying 275 bags of wheat destined for the public distribution system, uncovering a black‑marketing operation and sealing the flour mill involved.
Sagar police, in coordination with the state food‑security officials, stopped a truck that was loaded with 275 bags of wheat at a local flour mill. The cargo, intended for the public distribution system, was identified as part of a black‑marketing scheme that diverts subsidised grain to the open market.
The investigation revealed that the mill had been used as a transshipment point, allowing the wheat to be repackaged and sold at higher prices.
Following the seizure, the authorities sealed the flour mill to prevent further illicit activity and launched a broader probe into similar operations across the district.
Officials said that the action underscores the government’s commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the ration system and protecting vulnerable consumers.
