Nationwide rice inspection

Soldiers inspect warehouses stocking pledged rice in Ayutthaya, Buri Ram, Surin, Nakhon Ratchasima and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Although the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) has scrapped the rice-pledging scheme, a Yingluck Shinawatra government policy, it still needs to inspect the rice quality and quantity amid reports of corruption and rotting stocks.
