(c): Foodgrains are stored by FCI in a scientific manner in covered godowns and in Cover& Plinth (CAP) facilities. Due care is taken to ensure that quality of the grain is maintained. However, food grain being a perishable commodity, some quantities become non-issuable due to various reasons like:
I. Damage due to storage for a very long period.
II. Damage in transit viz. en-route damage in wagons/trucks due to contamination, wagon roof leakage etc.
III. Damages due to natural calamities like cyclone/flood etc.
IV. Possibility of down gradation of grains which are procured under relaxed specifications.
V. In some cases due to negligence of officials/ officers, for which suitable disciplinary action against defaulters, where ever found guilty, are invariably taken.
