Rajasthan Police Seize Nearly 3,000 kg of Milk Powder Bound for School Mid‑Day Meals

An FIR by the state dairy federation has prompted a police probe after three detentions, with officials promising strict action under the government’s zero‑tolerance policy.

Overview

  • Police acting on a tip-off raided Chithwadi village in the Samod/Chomu area and intercepted a pickup truck carrying almost 3,000 kg of milk powder that investigators say was diverted from government supplies.
  • The Rajasthan Cooperative Dairy Federation (RCDF) filed the complaint that led to an FIR at Samod police station and has begun legal action over the alleged illegal diversion.
  • Officers detained three unnamed suspects at the scene and have launched a criminal investigation to trace where the consignment came from and how it left the official supply chain.
  • The seized product was meant for the Pannadhay Bal Gopal Yojana mid‑day meal scheme, raising concerns about lost nutrition for schoolchildren and showing a leakage point in the distribution system.
  • State officials, speaking through the Chief Minister’s Office after a recent high‑level review of welfare delivery, said they will pursue strict action and administrative fixes to prevent similar misuse of public resources.
