The odd part
The Union Government discovers that having too much food is a fiscal catastrophe that must be punished.
What happened
In a display of peerless accounting logic, the Union Expenditure Secretary has instructed state governments to stop providing bonuses to paddy farmers, labeling the surplus production a 'liability' to the treasury. The government is concerned that if farmers continue to be efficient and productive, the nation might suffer the ultimate tragedy: a surplus of food that doesn't fit into a tidy Excel sheet. Plans are reportedly underway to remind farmers that the only thing more expensive than a famine is a bumper harvest that requires the government to actually keep its promises.
