VACB sting operation exposes illegal food grain diversion in Kerala

The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) conducted Operation Food Safety, an undercover probe that staged black marketeers to buy subsidised food grains from NFSA warehouses and ration shops in Kerala. The operation revealed widespread illegal diversion of grains sold below market prices, highlighting systemic corruption in the state's food distribution system. This exposure underscores the need for stricter oversight and accountability in the NFSA program.
