MALDA, Dec 24: - Although food inspector Mr D Basak was assaulted by a group of villagers at Pakuahat in Bamongola block late yesterday afternoon, he is yet to lodge a formal complaint. According to block official sources, villagers mistakenly assaulted Mr Basak in his office yesterday, as they saw modified ration dealers outside of his office and assumed that he was going to curtail the villagers’ food quota. On receiving information the block development officer tackled the situation. Interestingly, the official of the district controller of food and supplies admitted that the incident occurred, compared to the Malda sub divisional controller who denied the event and said: “I do not have the information.” The Malda sub divisional food controller said that the department was facing trouble in a few areas of Ratua I, II, Kaliachak II, and partly in Habibpur block areas. The food inspectors are working during the holidays to normalise the situation after conducting an inquiry based on a number of complaints from the villagers in the past two months.
