Previous Government Neglected Ration Card Distribution: Santhosh Kumar
Speaking at the event, R. Santosh Kumar criticized the previous government for not issuing new ration cards for over 10 years, which deprived many citizens, especially newly married couples, of welfare benefits. He appreciated the current administration’s efforts to fill the long-standing gap and ensure that eligible households gain access to food security schemes.
e-KYC Process Mandatory for Existing Cardholders by June 30
In addition to issuing new cards, officials urged all existing ration cardholders to complete the e-KYC verification process before June 30, 2024. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of ration cards.
“This e-KYC update is essential to ensure transparency and to eliminate ineligible beneficiaries,” an official stated.
