FCI, which currently handles about 80 million tonnes of foodgrains.

said more number of staff will be recruited in the north zone, where
maximum foodgrains are handled, followed by south, west, east and
northeast zones.

FCI is the nodal agency for foodgrains procurement and distribution.
Last
month, the government had put on hold its plans to bring an Ordinance
on Food Security in the face of opposition within and outside and
decided to make another attempt to evolve a consensus to get it through
in Parliament.
