The central ministry of the Food Department has sent a recent circular informing that the ration items must be given even if the Aadhar card is not linked to the family smart ration card.
Earlier, the central government had informed that the linking of Aadhar card with all other important personal data will be mandatory to avail the government welfare schemes.
The government had earlier ordered that the Aadhar card particulars of all the members given in the family smart ration cards must be linked in order to buy the ration items given under the PDS – Public Distribution System. Accordingly, activities have been under full swing to complete this requirement.
In this scenario, the ration card holders in the state of Jharkhand were refused to be given the ration items as they had not linked their Aadhar card details with their family smart ration cards.
Subsequently, there has been the shocking news of the death of 3 persons including a very young girl.
Following this incident, the central ministry of Consumer Safety and the Ministry of Food have sent circulars to all the state governments that the ration items can be given to the smart ration card holders even if they are not linked with Aadhar card.
