Food security act in 33 states/UTs: Govt
The government on Friday said the National Food Security Act (NFSA) has been rolled out in 33 states/UTs with subsidised foodgrains being provided to 72.45 crore beneficiaries (nearly 14.8 crore households). The statement came after the Comptroller and Auditor General criticised the Centre for delaying the NFSA's implementation and extending its rollout thrice without the Parliament’s approval.
