The Paddy Marketing Board says that two officials have been suspended for the disappearance of large quantities of paddy from government warehouses in the Kurunegala area.
The stock of paddy missing from that warehouse is about 700,000 kg.
Its value is said to be around 650-700 million rupees.
Rice has disappeared from two government rice warehouses.
Maybe they have falsified the records to say that paddy has been purchased when in fact, only the cash has been pilfered!!
