New Delhi, Jan 10 (IBNS): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has ordered an inquiry into the allegations made by a Border Security Force constable over the near starvation diet served to them at the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.

Wearing his uniform and carrying a rifle, Border Security Force constable  Tej Bahadur Yadav has posted few videos on social media alleging that inadequate and tasteless foods are served to the troops.

"I have seen a video regarding a BSF jawan's plight. I have asked the HS to immediately seek a report from the BSF & take appropriate action," Rajnath Singh tweeted.
