Punjab Ration Card holders news: A new problem has arisen for lakhs of ration card holders in Punjab. Ration cards of e-shram card holders were made by the Food Supply Department 5-6 months ago, but they have not been issued till now.
Due to this delay, many families are not able to avail the benefits of the government’s free wheat distribution scheme till now. Consumers say that they had completed all the necessary formalities as per the order of the department, yet their ration cards have not been uploaded on the portal.
The state governments were directed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court to provide ration to e-shram card holders, but despite this they are still deprived of ration. The affected consumers have appealed to the government to upload their ration cards on the portal as soon as possible, so that they can avail the free grain scheme. Now it remains to be seen how long the concerned department resolves this problem.
