Dalam acara dengar pendapatnya dengan DPR, Dirut
Pertamina pernah mengatakan bahwa ada baiknya untuk
menghindari penyalahgunaan bahan bakar diesel
bersubsidi, truk-truk tanki Pertamina itu dimonitor
dengan menggunakan GPS.  Tapi belum apa-apa dia sudah
mengkhawatirkan berapa ongkosnya.

Nah, bagaimana kalau Metro TV mengambil inisiatif
untuk meniru apa yang dilakukan oleh NDTV (New Delhi
TV) ini ?

Salam,

PDS theft: GPS systems to monitor FCI trucks

Sidharth Pandey

Friday, April 15, 2005 (New Delhi):


Eight months back an NDTV sting operation exposed
trucks carrying food grains from the Food Corporation
of India godowns ending up at private warehouses,
instead of the ration shops in the capital.

Non-government organisations estimate that over 60
percent of food grain marked for sale through fair
price shops end up being diverted by transporters.

The Delhi government has now decided to install GPS or
global positioning systems in all the 5000 trucks
which carry grain to ration shops.

Nipping the theft

"The system will be in place in a month, it will tell
us which route the truck is travelling on and where it
is stopping," said Nita Bali, State Food and Civil
Supplies Corporation.

The problem is clearly widespread. One of the trucks
that NDTV had followed from an FCI godown was tracked
to the Modi Mill in the capital. The factory staff was
clear about where the truck had come from.

"The senior officials know what is happening and they
have to be made accountable," said Arvind Kejriwal, of
Delhi-based NGO Parivartan.

It is now being hoped that the GPS gadgets will not
only check pilferage, but also ensure the grain gets
to those who need it the most.
