India: No plans to import wheat from Russia, says government

Food Secretary Sanjeev Chopra on Tuesday said there are no plans to import wheat from Russia under any diplomatic deal.

Talking to reporters, he said that are also no plans to restrict non-basmati par boiled rice exports.

Last month, Centre had imposed a ban on the export of widely consumed non-basmati white rice, following a ban on broken rice exports last year.

He said that fortified rice will also be given through National Food Security Act.
