New Delhi: After much delay and uncertainty, the landmark Food Security Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha on Monday evening which seeks to provide cheap foodgrain to 82 crore people in the country, ushering in the biggest programme in the world to fight hunger.

The ambitious bill was adopted by the House through a voice vote after a combined discussion on the measure and a statutory resolution seeking to disapprove the ordinance promulgated on July 5. Over 300 amendments moved by the opposition were rejected.
