What our readers say: Rain exposes govt claims

For more than a month, the state government has been claiming to have made elaborate arrangements for smooth procurement of wheat. But recent rains have totally exposed the hollowness of these claims. Thousands of quintals of wheat crop lying in the open at grain markets was damaged by rain despite prior prediction of rainfall. Action should be taken against procurement agencies and other authorities concerned for their negligence in saving the crop. —Ramesh Gupta, Narwana
