Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said that 3 crore ration cards were found to be false during digitization of ration cards and Aadhaar siding. Which have been canceled. Let me tell you, the government has decided to distribute free one kg of dal to every ration card holder for 3 months till June under Pradhan Mantri Garib Yojana for the poor during the lockdown period.
Why canceled ration card
“Aadhaar and ration card linking is required,” a statement from the government said. So the ration card has been canceled. Apart from that, foodgrains and other goods are being taken from the government scheme for free by making fake ration cards. These ration cards have also been canceled. A total of 800 million people in the country have ration cards. This initiative is largely considered important for the welfare of many migrant beneficiaries such as laborers, day laborers, blue-collar workers etc. Who often change their place of residence in search of employment across the country.
What to do now
If the ration card is canceled, you have to go to your food supply department and get the information. Where he shows his ration card and Aadhaar card. The Aadhaar number has been genderized with the ration card. Then your new ration card will be made and the old one will continue.
The scheme has been running since June 1
Let me tell you
the government will implement the ‘One Nation, One Ration Card’ scheme from June 1, 2020. Through it, old and new ration card holders will be able to buy rations anywhere from any ration shop in the country. Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Ram Vilas Paswan has recently announced this. This is called ration card portability.
