Hunger level in Madhya Pradesh is comparable to Ethiopia. Hunger level in Melghat of Maharashtra is almost the same. A snippet in the same paper on the same day states that the mismanagement has destroyed a huge stock of rice and wheat in a 250-acre godown of the Food Corporation of India in Nasik.
