Exportable grain mountain -
Business Line
With its godowns bursting at the seams, the Government has done the right thing by initiating moves for export of grain from the Food Corporation of India's (FCI) stocks. The economic rationale for it is sound. At around 72 million tonnes (mt), the inventory levels projected for July 1 would be more than twice India's normative buffer and strategic reserve requirements of 32 mt at the start of the new agriculture season. The annual ‘carrying' cost of this extra 40 mt, as per FCI's own figure of Rs 5 a kg, would work out to roughly Rs 20,000 crore.

 When television news anchor Rahul Kanwal got through to Srinivasan and asked him about Meiyappan’s arrest, the BCCI president reacted with thuggish belligerence: 'Shut up, just shut up. I will fix the whole lot of you.' It’s amusing, of course, that “fixing” appears to be uppermost on Srinivasan’s mind even at this stage.This IPL series has shown up the carnival to be a can of worms and India’s cricket administration to be rotten at its core. As a first step towards fixing it over the long haul, Srinivasan and his political patron and IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla should be made to resign, and the Chennai Super Kings team disqualified.
