If you have a ration card and you are taking advantage of the cheap ration scheme run by the government, then you must read this news. The Yogi government of UP has issued a new order regarding the ration card. Under this order Antyodaya and eligible household ration card holders will have to complete the verification as soon as possible. The ration cards of the beneficiaries found ineligible at the time of verification will be canceled and they will not get ration.
Beneficiary information changes from time to time
Beneficiaries whose ration cards will be canceled during verification, their ration cards will be replaced by new eligible applicants. Food and Supplies Commissioner of UP, Markandey Shahi has recently issued instructions in this regard to all district collectors and district supply officers. Additional Food Commissioner Anil Kumar Dubey said that the personal information given by the beneficiaries keeps changing from time to time.
Its purpose is to remove the ineligible from the list
