Nearly 4.5-lakh-tonne wheat worth over ₹370 crore stored in Punjab has been declared “beyond human consumption” by the Food Corporation of India (FCI). The wheat, if preserved, could have fed 76 lakh people for a year, according to the central public distribution system's annual allocation of 60 kg wheat per person. The FCI has asked to dispose of the stock.
