Ration Card- Major news for 39 lakh Ration Card holders. The Modi government at the center has released a 3-month quota from July to September for the benefit-eligible families associated with Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, in which 222070092.330 metric tons of food grains will be distributed to 1 crore 51 lakh 86871 members of 39,78488 families belonging to 23 districts of Punjab. The work of distributing wheat at ration depots will be started.
After the completion of the wheat distribution, the various teams of officials and employees of the Food and Supply Department have started a round of meetings to finalize the plan for wheat distribution to the beneficiary families including the arrival of wheat stocks at the respective ration depots so that the work of wheat distribution at the ration depots can be completed before the start of the rice harvest season in the state.
Also let us know that by the end of August, paddy will start arriving in Anach Mandis and purchase centers across Punjab. In such a situation, the responsibility of managing the purchase of crops, arranging vehicles for loading and unloading goods from markets, cleaning, arranging sacks for loading goods and other basic facilities is on the shoulders of the officials.
It is significant that the central government is providing 15 kg of wheat free for 3 months to blue and smart ration card holders at the rate of 5 kg per member, while Antyodaya ration card holders are given 35 kg of wheat per member, but most of the ration depot holders and employees of the food supply department colluded with each other to increase the 35 kg wheat per member of Antyodaya ration card holders. They are playing a dirty game of manipulation.
