Kamal Nayan Choubey, Additional Director General of BSF, today visited the BSF Camp Mandi and interacted with soldiers and officials after a jawan’s complaint of poor quality food being served to them on LOC. The inquiry was initiated after a constable posted a series of videos on social media about the poor quality of food served to the jawans.

Sources said the ADG visited the BSF camp in Khet and individually interacted with the jawans deployed there, besides talking to the BSF and Army officials monitoring the area. He stayed at Mandi for over six hours.

Later, Choubey visited the Unit headquarter Mandi and held a meeting with higher officials and inquired about the issue.

“I talked to the jawans posted in the Khet location and enquired about the quality of food served to them and all the jawans expressed satisfaction on the quality of food. The inquiry is underway and necessary action will be taken if any officer is found guilty,” he said. Sourced said the ADG’s visit was made possible only after Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s intervention into the matter.

The Home Ministry had asked the BSF to inquire into the matter and take necessary action.
