Ration card for non-foodgrains recipients to be canceled for three months, states to issue new guidelines on Centre's suggestion

- People in greater need do not get grain because of others

New delhi date. Monday 14 December 2020

People with government ration cards are more likely to have their ration cards revoked if they do not eat for three months in a row. The scheme was claimed to be helpful to some families who do not have a ration card but are in need.

It was learned that the state governments were formulating such guidelines at the suggestion of the central government. The government has been providing foodgrains to the poor families at reasonable prices through ration cards. But it has been reported for some time that many families do not take food for three consecutive months. If this happens later, it will be assumed that these families are now financially viable and their ration cards will be canceled.

Amid the epidemic of coronavirus infection, there are thousands of families who are struggling to make ends meet. The government had to provide rations for such people. It was learned that such a decision was being taken by the central government in these circumstances. The state governments will investigate in their own way who does not take food grains in ration shops in the area for three months. The family will then be asked why they do not take food on the ration card. Eventually his ration card will be canceled.
