The Delhi government Friday claimed to have detected a ration fraud from the Mundka area.

According to a statement issued by the government, Food and Supplies Minister Imran Hussain found local people allegedly being beaten up by ration mafia, who were diverting 15 quintals of food grains from a Food Corporation of India (FCI) godown in the area.

Hussain Friday directed officials to take steps to implement the proposed and controversial doorstep ration delivery scheme.
