This was informed at a meeting held by cooperative minister Shivpal Yadav yesterday for reviewing the departmental progress of institutions in the sector.

The minister said any laxity in wheat purchase by PCF would not be tolerated and officials found responsible for such would be placed under immediate suspension.

While directing that PCF centres be opened at 7 am, he also said farmers should get a support price for their produce.

Meanwhile, the minister alleged that there was a big scam in the purchase of computers in the cooperative department and a high-level inquiry would be initiated in the case.
