JAMMU: A BSF jawan, deployed on border in Jammu and Kashmir has alleged that troops are served bad quality food and even have to go empty stomach at times.
In videos uploaded on social media platforms, the jawan claimed that while government procures essentials for them, the officers sell it off in an illegal manner in the market.
Constable T B Yadav (40) of BSF's 29th battalion said "We only get a parantha'and tea as breakfast and this is without any pickle or vegetables. We slog for 11 hours and at times we have to stand throughout the duty hours. For lunch, we get dal which only has haldi and salt with roti. This is the quality of the food we get, how can a jawan do his duty? "I request the Prime Minister to get this probed no one shows our plight."
