A probe has been sought into an alleged multi-crore fodder seed scam linked to the Verka Milk Plant in Chandigarh, raising serious concerns over procurement practices within the cooperative dairy system.
The complaint alleges irregularities in the purchase of fodder seeds, with claims of inflated pricing and potential financial mismanagement involving significant public funds.
According to reports, the issue has triggered demands for a formal investigation to examine the tendering process, supplier selection, and pricing mechanisms used in the procurement.
Questions have been raised over whether due diligence and transparency norms were followed, as the alleged scam could have implications for both operational efficiency and farmer support systems linked to the plant.
The case highlights vulnerabilities in input procurement within dairy cooperatives, where fodder plays a critical role in maintaining milk productivity and cost structures. Any irregularities in such purchases not only impact financial health but can also indirectly affect farmers dependent on cooperative networks for inputs and support.
Authorities are expected to review records and conduct inquiries to establish accountability, with stakeholders calling for stricter oversight and governance reforms to prevent similar incidents.
The development underscores the need for enhanced transparency, audit mechanisms, and compliance frameworks across India’s cooperative dairy ecosystem.
